Answer» Hello,
Recently i have had some peoblems with my computer. I have a Dell Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz and 1gb ram. Recently when I have use it (browse the web, play games and so on) I have been disconnected. It's almost like its going into power saving mode or hibernating. When i get disconected my screen turns black and i can't restart it. I have also checked that im not playing games that demand too much from my computer.
Tankfull for some help, Lansendit could be the RAM try memtest86
or a faulty PSU
or a million other reasons, describe to me in more detail about the problem you're facing Well, when i open a program that has the requirement 2.8 GHz processor, 1 mg RAM, from the beginning it works FINE but after a while it disconnects (The disconnects happen at random places, sometimes after 30 minutes and sometimes after 10, and not when im doing anything in particular). After the disconnect i the computer doesnt respond to my commands and the screen turns off. Im running windows xp.
I'd like to AVOID resetting my WHOLE hard drive.Quote when i open a program.....it works fine but after a while it disconnects A program shuts down, or you are playing on-line, and get disconnected, or???It has nothing to do with the net connection. Its the computer that does somthing. Its like it does into a power saving mode but i cant recall it. When i want to start the CUMPUTER and use it again i have to turn it off first.Go to Start / Settings / Control Panel / Power Options. Check and make sure that Standby is not checked and under the Hybernate tab that is also unchecked.
Alan <>< The computer is going into a state that i would describe as "power saving mode" but I'm USING the computer.
Thanks in advance, LansendI would suspect that the PSU is over heating.
