| 101016 | 2002-11-24 18:42:00 | I have an Athlon 1 gig on a DFI AK75TC M/B with 512megs of RAM running Windows 98SE. a 350 watt PSU is also installed. It has been running fine for over a year. Now it has suddenly decided to randomly restart at the most critical of times... ie copying a file over the network, etc. No rhyme or reason. CPU temp is fine. Only new software added was the Ulead Video studio that came on a recent PC World CD. Any suggestions |

| 101019 | 2002-11-24 22:11:00 | Something I had recently, make sure your Powe cord is in VERY SECURELY... I had my PC crack up a few nights ago coz I'd half-knocked it out when swapping the mouse! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 101020 | 2002-11-26 04:46:00 | Hi Gibler. No its a newish 350 Watt installed about 6 months ago and I tried Knoppix... it has a problem with my ProSavage onboard Video. Liked the look of it tho'... tried it on my laptop...looks nice. | Andrew1967 (2614) | ||
| 101021 | 2002-11-26 04:48:00 | I haven't tweaked anything... its an out of the box 98SE installation. Will run system monitor and check resource levels. Thanks for the tip. Cheers |

| 101022 | 2002-11-26 04:50:00 | Thanks for the tip... Checked all cables when it started doing this. All firmly in place. Mate has suggested a possible RAM issue. Says cos I've been doing some big AVI file editing in Ulead I may have struck a bad address in RAM. Will be checking tonight. | Andrew1967 (2614) | ||
