Hi again PseFrank I'm very pleased to report that my pc has been running all evening, that is nearly 5 hours and no problems so far. I still need confidence that it reallly is fixed but it does look good at the moment. I would never have guessed that the problem I had could have been caused by a buildup of dust. Thanks again for your help. Also, Speccy is a very good programme.

Many thanks PseFrank I've just completed a cleanup. There was a fair buildup of fluff/dust under the processor fan which was partially blocking the cooling fins. The pc is running as I write this so I will have to see how long it keeps going. I will let you know. Thanks again

Hi I have a 33 month old Mesh desktop pc running Windows 7 OS which I installed just over a year ago. All has been well until the last few days. The problem is that after a short while of running, which can vary from a few minutes to an hour, the screen freezes and no inputs are possible via mouse or keyboard. No amount of effort will get it running again as it just stops at various points of booting up. It is not even possible to Safe Boot. However, if the pc is left for one hour approx, it starts ok and everything is fine again until it freezes again. When it is working, everything works fine including all my applicationm e,g Office ect. I have tried system restore but this made no difference. I have not recently added any software or hardware. To my mind it is almost as though something is heating up and failing until it cools down again. It just does not seem to be a software issue. I did manage to complete a full virus check using Kaspersky and this found no issues. I have subsequenly deleted Kaspersky 2010 and install Kaspersky 2011 but still the problem continues. Does anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks

Hi All I'm a new member having just joined today. I am not an expert but have acquired some limited knowledge of pcs over the years. I tend to look after the family's pcs. As you will probably guess, I have a problem at the moment that I cannot fix and am hoping you will be able to help me with the diagnosis. I think I need to post it in the relevant section so will not detail it here. Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
