Computer Locking up?
I have a custom computer i built over 3 years ago.. P4 2.6
1g ram and lots of hard drive space. Just with in the last month or so. My Pc locks up at random.. some days it does and other i runs like a dream... I have renstailled windows xp and it seems to work for a day or 2 and than BAAM! lock up.. any ideas this system has been with same hardware and same setup for the past 2 years with no problems. the only thing i've added is Internet. Thanks Stephen
without any real diagnostic tools it would be tough to tell with any certainty....it more or less sounds like a power supply issue. That could mean the power supply itself or it could be an issue with the motherboard providing power to the chip....or for that matter it could be a power pin on the chip itself.
you're not going to get an absolute definitive answer here....or at least you shouldn't, but an interruption of power flow will usually lock up a processor in a familar way and your syptoms fit the bill. I'm guessing you don't have any diagnostic tools handy but if you got parts laying around like another power supply or can flip out the chip with another to test it out you might get somewhere with that.
I wouldn't stress about it too much but if the frequency increases than I would start looking at replacing the power supply....they tend to fail at a gradual rate so you might be getting close to the end with that unit.
