|
Answer» hi,my desktop pc keeps freezing..the pc is a tiny desktop running win m.e. Ive TRIED taking it back to factory setting using the disc i got with the pc but once it has loaded it seem to freeze almost immediaely...The pc is ok when i go into safe mode...CELERON 900 MHZ the cpu is brand new..so that rules out overheatingNo it doesn't, overheating has very little to do with how new or old the processor is. You say the processor is new. Does that mean you have replaced it recently?

Is there anything on the drive you need. Try formating it. Also, you could try another drive.Quote from: squall_01 on March 13, 2008, 05:41:24 AM Quote from: patio on March 12, 2008, 01:19:04 PMQuote from: squall_01 on March 12, 2008, 12:18:12 PMDid you self replace it?
