18074 2001-09-03 01:50:00 I have P3 667 with 128MB ram and it is always crashing (straight to restart) or freezing (with cyclic noise) or emitting two whistling sounds and locking up. I've had the modem checked & swapped it to no avail, tried the IE repair tool and various other Registry cleaners etc. It usually does this when clicking on a tool or at the end of a download, pretty much any old time. It seems that it is a Software problem but where to start? Guest (0)

Might not just be software, could be a RAM issue.

I'm not sure about the noises, but if they come from the fan on the back of the computer then it is the power supply. I have seen the powersupply fan jammed with dust before.

Thanks for the tip, I bought and inserted a new 128MB stick just yesterday and so far (fingers still crossed) no crash. Yahooee!!! Thanks again.
