XP Freezes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tim]

I have 2 user profiles on my XP machine. One is myself
(Administrator) and my sister (Restricted user). When we
browse the internet and try to scroll down pages it
freezes and we need to reboot. This happens more often
on her profile but happens on mine as well. I sent an
error report to microsoft and received a reply stating
this issue could be associated with a video card device
driver. I have updated my driver and my profile seems to
be better but hers still freezes alot. What could be the
problem here.

Also the PC doesn't boot up straight away because it
doesn't detect an operating system. I don't even hear a
POST beep. I need to reboot at least 5 times before it
detects my Operating system. Please help.

Regards, Tim.

Graphics card faults can cause random hanging. Hardware fault so take for
service OR eliminate hardware and rebulid youself - this is generally the
fun part.

You have hardware problems. If everything is properly detected you should
hear 1 beep. If you can't troubleshoot hardware problems, take the computer
to a reputable repair shop.
