I'm using an Amd X2 cpu with a hitachi hard drive 2gb ddr2 ram. I'm getting
screen freezes and program crashes regular? If i leave the pc on and walk
away 9 times out of ten when i come back the screen has frozen and the mouse
is stuck forcing me to reboot? Is it possible these problems would be
occuring due to my last installation which went bad, when I tried to fix that
installation i used the fixboot command in recovery console could this
command have altered my pc's stability? I'm finding alot more crashes on this
AMD system compared to previous intel cpu's? Is anyone experiencing the same
problems? Is it possible I need a better heatsink? Maybe I should leave the
screen saver switched on to keep the pc thinking? Any advice most welcome.

For starters, any error reports showing up in the Event Viewer? Any
results from the motherboard monitoring system, if one is installed.
If it has been very warm in the computer's location, then overheating
is a distinct possibility. Post back with more information, if any.
