Hi peoples,
I have:
an athlon 2000+
256 SD DDR RAM
Windows XP SP2
(That is about the limit of my system knowlege)
My problem is that the complete system hangs for some reason.
It seems to be random...?
It used to be only when I was dialed up surfing and using my USB
scanner, but now it is ever more frequent.
Backing up to disk last night before attempting to fix the problem
created more issues. It froze during the burning process many times
(trashing the disk in the process).
I have never opened the box from new (about 18 months ago).
I was thinking of doing (when backing up all things that need to be)
1) opening the box and seeing how dusty it is / cleaning it
2) removing all un-necessary cards and seeing if I can get a stable
system
3) reseating all other cards / drives
3) re-seating memory
Is there anything else I could do before taking it to the "shop"
Thanks David.
