PROGRAMS FREEZING

[StandUpHair]

Hi Folks,

I recently reformatted my pc win xp pro and sp2.

I did this as the pc was having difficulty shutting down - a corrupted
winlogon.exe - froze during shutdown at Saving Your Settings. A repair
with xp made no difference.

After reformatting the same problems have continued.

But now other programs are freezing too. Thunderbird, a picture viewer,
even task manager - and won't close down properly using task manager
after freezing.

I have done full scans using F-Secure Security Suite, SpyBot,
Spysweeper, done online scans with Panda antivirus and nothing has been
found.

I'm not sure what the problem is. It happens after the pc has been off
as well as after many hours of being on.

Also the modem / adsl line keeps cutting out.

The most common cause seems to be overheating and memory problems.
Check to see that all the internal fans are working correctly and not clogged or obstructed.
Reseat the memory, or try 1 stick at a time.
Leave the case cover off to see if it runs cooler and stops freezing.

Try lowering the "Hardware Accelerator" setting a notch or three.
Right-click the desktop, select Properties. Click the "Settings" tab.
Click the "Advanced" button, click the "Troubleshoot" tab.
