I posted this (beneath) a couple of weeks ago and received some answers mainly focusing on the fan heat (thanks all of you trying to help me out!). Since then I've discovered that the freezings mainly occurs while using programs like Quicktime, Windows Mediaplayer, or visiting websites that uses Flash or Shockwave in their presentation. Hell, my computer should handle that, shouldn't it? Ant it should all be perfectly upgraded considering patches and drives etc... and the fan seem going fine... So, is my computer jinxed?
Merry Christmas to all of you!
Hi!
It seems like people here are far more skilled than I am. Since I bought my new computer a couple of months ago it tends to hang for some reason. Finally I freaked out and turned it over to my dealer, who is very nice, and I spent my last money from my student loan to have it fixed. They searched it for problems and claimed that the installation was faulty and did it for me with patches and upgrades and all. I went home, and of course it crashed. But not as often as before. But still. I cant c-alt-del, the only thing I can do is reset, it freezes totally without explanations. I've uninstalled everything that isn't necessary, like webcam and gaming controls and such... nothing seems to help.
What crap I'm using? No, it should be quite ok:
athlon t-bird 1,4 ghz, soltek 75drv, geforce 2 pro, 256 mb ddr, on win 98. Of course I'm turning it in again, but someone here might be able to tell if my computer is cursed or if the reason for the hang ups can be found...
