Try turning off your hyper-threading.

i had a problem just like that....... took me a while to find out how to fix it.......... after years off attending college, i came up with the conclusion that placing a heater beside your computer will resolve the computer freezing issue....... i'm sorry i had to do it.

add another 256mb of ram

I assume you have an antivirus and firewall along with other software

xp + 2 extra program that didn't come on xp = add more ram

you need a minium of 512 for xp to operate

it will work with less, but not that good

it could not even be that... it could be you have faulty ram and that it cant execute the instrustions the cpu sends it properly... try replacing your ram with another stick and see what happens

i have 1 gb of ram i dont fancy having to replace it cause of the cost but i shal add some more

Is the sound coming out of your speakers? if not, where?

 

[monkeywithgirls]

yeh its coming from my stereo cause i conect that to my computer to give me a better sound,

what is that about hyper threading would that cause the problem

Try reinstalling your sound drivers, or update your DirectX.

Hyper-Threading enables multi-threaded applications to execute threads in parallel.

So basically, it's like having 2 processors, but having a single chip operate like two separate processors without implementing two cores on one chip.
