| 204794 | 2004-01-01 23:44:00 | My XP system has been freezing for the last few months. Seems to be whenever I leave the PC inactive for 15 mins or more. Have tried installing/unistalling patches, going through setting etc but to no avail. Does anyone know of any tools that might be available (preferably free or trial versions) that might help me track things down. Maybe somthing that records what processes are doing so that next time I reboot I can see what was grabbing all the resources. Cheers |

| 204795 | 2004-01-02 01:38:00 | some suggestions. check your power system settings. is it trying to go into standby? eliminate unnecessary startup progs from startup list one by one. try start/run type "sfc /scannow" enter (space between c & / no " marks.) you will need your XP os disk. do you have any restore points you can revert to prior to recent software installs? if these don't offer help and no one else has better solutions.....and you have no image bkups, then a repair install is an option. it is aggresive though and and your system couls be a bit different after. shouldn't lose data but may need to rerun some updates. do this by booting to your XP disk. last resort though. |
