Hey guys this is my first post on this forum, i'll try to make it a good one.
The computer is generic, with an unknown motherboard and a AMD Duron 1800 processor running at 1400 mhz(the bios will not let me keep it at 1800). I have 256 mb of ram, but 8 is used for the onboard videocard.The hard drive is 40 gb. I am running windows XP.
I have been having this problem with my computer. My mom bought it in 2002 when i graduated. It was working perfectly fine untill 6 months ago. It went from random blue screens while surfing the web to just freezing. I have noticed that it freezes when im online more than off(cable internet). It also freezes when im on AIM too. Im not sure if it has anything to do with internet at all.One day i was messing around inside the case and broke the cpu fan. I went to buy another one and cracked the processor in the process of putting teh cpu fan on, so i replaced the cpu with a duron 1800.About a month or so later, I noticed that the power supply got very very hot and at one point it would freeze 5 minutes after being turned on. I replaced the power supply and it fixed the problem for about a week and it startted freezing again so i added a case fan, nothing. Its getting very very annoying...does anybody know what else i should take a look at?
