Guest Jack Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Hello, Config: P4 2.6C D865Perl mobo DDR400 2GB Seagate 250GB x 1 Maxtor 160GB x 2 Radeon 9600 My system hangs non-stop, I reboot the computer then hangs on startup again .. I have run Anti-spyware and Anti-virus. Didn't come up with anything What else can I check? Might it be hardware or spyware problems? Thanks Jack
Guest Jack Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Hangs non-stop I have re-installed the system. After 2-3 days later, the same situation came back again. therefore I don't think there is any capacitors blown out.... Thanks Jack

If it (Graphics, USB, whatever) does, update the Drivers from the Manufacturer's website And, if you have just reinstalled XP, have you installed all the priorty updates and Service Packs from Microsoft?

Guest Mick Murphy Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Hangs non-stop There is still another Service Pack 3 for you to download. But, it should be stable at SP2 Are you gaming, or running resource hungry Programs?

Guest Michael A. Loginov Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Hangs non-stop I'd think on power consumption - may it be that 3 HDD got too much power and cause hangs?
