Solved: Random Freezes

5274 Views 16 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Mrcobra
Can anyone tell me what are some of the reasons why a computer would randomly freeze ? It may happen 1-3 times a day while the computer is in operation for about 8-12 hrs.

Thank you

Download and install Speedfan so you can monitor temps and fan speeds in Windows

cpu and system temperatures and various fan speeds...tell us what you see,
Well that's not unusual for an Athlon XP.
61c is a little high for cpu...I would suspect time to reseat cpu and heatsynch and apply fresh layer of grease after cleaning off old. A change to a 3rd party hsf like Thermaltake Volcano 8 or 9 would sahve 10 degrees off that for a few bucks because the stock Amd hsf for XP cpu, really sucked.
