Gday peoples
Lately I've been having a few dramas with the computer being a bit of a pig to start up....bit like an old car on a cold morning and a dodgy carby Turn the PC on, sometimes while the hard drive cranks over the monitor wont switch on from standby. Usually it happens when it's cold for some reason, sometimes you have to reset it 4 or 5 times to get it to turn on. When it does turn on, it freezes at random points..... either at the loadup screen (right after you turn the machine on), when the windows logo comes up, at login, or at the Windows XP desktop. Mouse freezes and you have to reset as cntr-alt-del wont work Once it has fully loaded however, the internet is connected, there are no issues whatsoever. I'm thinking it could be the operating system not starting correctly or hardware has trouble feeding power or something continuously.... Hardware details: Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz 256MB RAM Cheers |
