Hi,
I am running:
windows XP (service pack 2,) Athalon 2100, with 768 ram.
A few weeks ago my well behaved system started to freeze, sometimes
hanging on close down. The only symptoms I could find is that just
before a hang the "task manager" showed CPU usage on "System" at 98%,
This is just above system idle in processes. The other strange thing is
that some times the computer would restart itself after shutting down.
I took the PC to a shop, but they could find nothing wrong, and did
component tests on all the hardware which it passed. They suggested a
windows repair, which I did my self - however the problem is still there!
I have started to disconnect most of the items connected to the PC but
still the problem persists. I have also scanned for virus, and adware
programs.
Thanks for reading this, and if you can offer a suggestion, thanks
again. Paul
