Re: Turn on memory checking in bios

"When does it freeze? If it freezes right after startup, how did you do
a disk cleanup and defrag?"

After start up, my computer freezes after a while. It can freeze after 20
mins to an hour. I leave my computer on 24/7. When I wake up in the morning,
the computer froze sometime during the night.

Thanks for everyone who responded to my post. My main problem is my computer
freezes after start up. I've looked at my fans and their okay. I've done disk
clean up and defrag. My motherboard along with RAM and intel pentium 4
processor is a couple of months old. I even reloaded windows xp and still my
computer freezes. Anyone have any suggestions what could cause computer
freezes?



I can't tell you what's wrong, although if the same problem occurs
after reinstalling Windows cleanly, I would strongly suspect a
hardware issue--most likely either flaky power (either from the power
supply or wall outlet) or RAM.

By the way, being a couple of months old does *not* rule out hardware
problems. In fact the two times hardware is *most* likely to fail is
when it's new and when it's old.

When does it freeze? If it freezes right after startup, how did you do
a disk cleanup and defrag?
