I am posting in this group because I believe a hardware issue may be at the
root of this.
My problem is that WindowsXP will hang very frequently at different times
when doing different tasks. I will lose all mouse and keyboard control and
the screen will just sit there and not update anymore. Most of the time it
freezes when doing some type of hard drive intensive tasks like copying
files, defragging, virus scans, etc. I have upgraded from 196MB RAM to 256
but problem remains the same. Please suggest where I should start looking.
I would like to correct this issue if I can rather than upgrading the whole
system.
Another reason I think it may be hardware related is this problem starting
happening when I still ran Win98.
