42683 2002-04-08 22:19:00 Having had a new CPU and a new motherboard I still get freezing intermittently on my Win ME machine. All hardware has been tested in the shop, drivers updated also. But every now and then the screen will freeze; sometimes ctrl alt del and straight back in to the programme works, sometimes I need to reset the machine and sometimes I have to disconnect from the power source. I have two CD drives, one for burning. Sometimes during idling I hear the CD drives 'grabbing' as though something is there. It's been in the shop a number of times but the techno just can't seem to crack it. Thanks for any ideas. PS - This is my first time - I read about it in PC World! Guest (0)

1) Is there sufficient ventilation of the case. (run the pc without the case if necessary).
2) Check the processor chip has heat sink compound between it and the heat sink.
