| 199923 | 2003-12-13 04:51:00 | I have worked on an office PC with Win XP and only 128MB RAM with a slower processor than that and while it was jolly slow it never froze with two or three apps running. As mentioned previously, have a run through the Spyware FAQ (link to FAQs top right of this page) and give an up to date anti-virus a run. If that doesn't help maybe it needs to go back under the warranty? |

| 199924 | 2003-12-15 01:47:00 | Guys, back in the office today, Monday. The troublesome PC has been well behaved all day... hasn't crashed once. The only difference is the removal of Alexa... and the fact that it isn't quite as hot today, ambient temperature-wise, as it was last week. Who knows? |

| 199925 | 2003-12-15 01:52:00 | Sounds exactly like mine. Just locks up. XP Pro Athlon XP 2100 1gb Ram Can't be ram causing the problem for me, and my computer runs at 58 degrees |

| 199926 | 2003-12-15 01:57:00 | Not funny, is it, Jo? It's so hard to track down the cause because it's so intermittent. As soon as I am away from the office, BAMMM, it crashes again. |

| 199927 | 2003-12-15 02:18:00 | yeah, I can't figure out what it is. It goes away sometimes, and you think you have fixed it, but sometime later, it jumps on you again. Here is some stuff I think could be doing it, see if you have them. Creative Audigy Soundcard Geforce 4 with 52.12 drivers or something. HP Deskjet 720c Some old scanner You suggest some things too. |

If it's a work machine, complain to your boss/IT department. Sub-standard work equipment is their problem not yours. |

| 199929 | 2003-12-15 04:49:00 | You could try Mother board monitor 5. Free from mbm.livewiredev.com/ . You can display CPU temp system temp, fan speed and voltages as you are working. Put it on both machines and compare them look for anomolies Pete |
