PC locking up
I wasn't sure where to put this so feel free to move it.
I have an older build of a customers. Intel 865G MOBO using Onboard Video--2.0GB Celeron--2 X 256 PC3200 RAM--Antec 350W PSU-- XP Pro. The Mouse cursor randomly locks up and requires a restart to continue. Sometimes, the PC fails to get past the Boot Screen on the restart. This is a very random occurrence and not connected to any particular tasks or time frame. Mouse, Keyboard and RAM have been substituted. I did a Repair Install about 10 to 12 days ago and that seemed to have resolved the problem then it started again a couple of days ago. |

Clean all the dust out and monitor the temperatures. Run ram and hard drive diagnostics.

Ram is good, the PC is dust free and the temps are good (CPU-38C). I'm going run the HDD diagnostics now.
The HDD passed 1 short test and 2 long tests. Last edited by not important; 04-17-2009 at 06:31 PM. |

Did you try benching it outside the case? The PSU is quality but did you try it with a different PSU?

It is out of the case. I thought of replacing the PSU because it is about 5 years old but it doesn't really show failing PSU symptoms, at least not the common ones. It's been running for over 24 hours and not so much as a frozen cursor or a failed restart.

I'd download the latest drivers for everything and see what that does. The drivers on the Intel CD are probably several versions old.

I downloaded and installed all the latest drivers for the MOBO this morning. Still no freezes or lockups so I'm not sure I fixed it.
