My co-worker still uses Windows XP and he still wants to use XP for multitude of reasons, some of them reasonable.

So few days ago his computer just kept freezing after 5 minutes of use. The computer worked fine on Safe Mode.

I formatted his Windows and installed Windows 10 which worked fine for 2 hours, then I formatted XP again, it froze during the installation when I had to choose language. I re-did the setup and everything went fine, it froze during Widnows running for an hour.

I changed HDDs and it installed properly and again froze after 1-2 hours of stand by.


Is this issue with with Windows XP or hardware?
