Hi

I told a friend I would see if I could get her some help with a computer problem. The computer started freezing up a few months ago and has got progressively worse and now completely crashes leaving a black screen! checked for virus and spyware nothing detected, the comp can't even stay alive long enough anymore to run a full scan and dies after 30 mins, but can stay alive for a few hours at times. Took it to a tech guy, cos it felt like overheating, he cleaned the fans and reset the heatsink? as far as he's concerned it's doesn't seem to be a hardware problem <_< it mostly crashes with games, scanners but can also be unpredictable, any ideas?

Here's a hijack this log, what other info would be useful? I can also post a 'SANDRA' report for comp specs but don't know what info I should leave out of it regarding her machine info, like host name? not v savvy!!

Thanks in advance

Trixie :D

Log is clear. I'd try this memory test. http://www.memtest86.com

Installation
===============
Memtest86 is a stand alone program that cannot be executed under windows and must
be loaded from a floppy disk.

To install Memtest86:
- Extract the files from the zip archive
- Open the directory where the files were extracted and click on "install.bat".
- The install program will prompt you for the floppy drive and also prompt you to
insert a blank floppy.
- To run Memtest86 leave the floppy in the drive and reboot.

NOTE: After the boot floppy has been created you will not be able to read the floppy
from windows. This is normal.

Post the results. <_<
