Guest Dave Candi Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 I'm using an Amd X2 cpu with a hitachi hard drive 2gb ddr2 ram. I'm getting screen freezes and program crashes regular? If i leave the pc on and walk away 9 times out of ten when i come back the screen has frozen and the mouse is stuck forcing me to reboot? Is it possible these problems would be occuring due to my last installation which went bad, when I tried to fix that installation i used the fixboot command in recovery console could this command have altered my pc's stability? I'm finding alot more crashes on this AMD system compared to previous intel cpu's? Is anyone experiencing the same problems? Is it possible I need a better heatsink? Maybe I should leave the screen saver switched on to keep the pc thinking? Any advice most welcome.

Any results from the motherboard monitoring system, if one is installed. If it has been very warm in the computer's location, then overheating is a distinct possibility. Post back with more information, if any.
