| 105725 | 2002-12-13 12:37:00 | 128MB is barely enough to justifiably run XP... 256 is satisfying, and 512 preferrable, but otherwise, it could be a program he loaded lately or drivers or something new | agent (30) | ||
| 105726 | 2002-12-14 00:36:00 | Run Scandisk, Run Defrag, 256 is definately needed, (although I have run it on 166MHz, and 64MB RAM) Check windows for updates, free up some HDD space, ie remove unwanted programs or programs not used any more. just do general House keeping, this may fix the problem. It is summer now, the computer may need an extra fan or two. get down to where the PC is and check the temperature, if it is too hot/warm, then definatly get more fans. Have a Merry Christmas |

| 105729 | 2002-12-14 03:40:00 | How long ago was a reformat done? Everyone is different on the length. I say at least once every 6 months. If it has worked before you should always give it ago. | NathanTheKind (472) | ||
