Please can someone help. I have a P4 2.8Ghz,40G HDD, ASROCK motherboard, 512Mb RAM, GE Force 5200, O/S=XP Pro)SP2. All drivers are up to date,and XP updates are OK. My machine will hang any time it fancies! Its not cooling (i have a desk fan blowing on it, CPU=39deg, MotherBoard=30deg, HDD=31 degrees). It will hang from startup, it will hang when viewing pics, when typing in word, when using photoshop. Has never hung in a game mind you (ie DOOM3, Splinter Cell, MSFlight Sim) Sometimes it wont hang, somedays it will do it 10 times in a row. No error messages. Have tested HDD with seagate tools, all OK, I have tested memory using Windows Mem Diagnostics, have ran anti spyware etc, have Norton AV, all clear there. Have dusted out the PSU, MB and chassis, reconnected all leads. XP tests fine with no problems. I have about 330Mb of available memory free. And still it hangs,why??? A few months back our house was struck by lightening, although the PC was not plugged in, my screen was damaged by electro-magnetism and I had my graphics card replaced. Please can someone help me! I am desperate. Its made worse by the fact we got this PC from my girlfriends brother so we have some friction in this house!!! Thanks in advance
