Mangar Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 All of a sudden my XP home locks up after the desktop comes up. I can click on start, theen select programs, then the list shows up but it freezes at that point. Any Ideas ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbie Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 Check your temps and votages. I had a system that the 3.3v would dip down to 2.6 and it would hard lock. Replaced the PS and it worked just fine. Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangar Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Well, it seams that my boot drive is sick. I swapped it out for another one, formatted and installed XP on it, and so far seams to be fine. All my temps and volts were good, the PS is less than six months old. I am still not ruling out the virus possibility though. Thanks for the responses.
