For the past three weeks, XP Home had been completely
freezing up on me. It freezes at completely random
spots. Everything quits (the mouse, the clock, the
keyboard, the monitor...the whole works). It could be
while surfing the web, typing in Word, idle at the
desktop, or loading windows. I haven't installed any new
software and I do not have any viruses on my computer. I
have been through quite the run-around with Dell Tech
Support and they are telling me that it is a software
issue and that I need to format and re-install windows.
However, I am begining to think that my cheap Intel
Celeron is the problem. Do you guys think this could be
caused by Windows or if it is my Celeron on its last (and
only) leg?? Thanks for your input!!
