Re: [PLUG] Computer Problems
|
Naresh,
A very silly suggestion, and something you probably checked already - Is
the floppy cable (if you have a floppy) plugged the right way? I
remember I made a box once and it always hanged misteriously after 15
minutes to one hour. Later I realized the floppy LED was on all the
time, which is a sign of an inverted cable - Swapped this, and it's been
working fine since...
Also, it can be memory becoming 'un-seated' with heat, or the CPU
overheating (is the fan working). All these will give you 'erratic'
problems that are very hard to track down...

Yeah, when I use my NIC I also get the problem too. But then again, I
also
get it when I am not using my NIC. How can I fix this on-board problem?
Reset my BIOS (which I think is already at its default). Also, if its a
on-board problem, won't my freezing happen immediately, instead of 15-20
mins later?
Thanks

I used to have a problem with freezing when my NIC was enabled,
usually when
trying to play my Combat Flight Simulator. Updating the driver for
the NIC
took care of the problem. However, since you are using different OSes
and
seeing the same problem, maybe it is a resource conflict. Maybe an
onboard
device conflicting with an add-on device.

I recently built a computer. And I have been having one particular
problem. Which is that it is keep on freezing. I checked to see
if
it was
overheating, but the BIOS "PC HEALTH" says CPU Temp is : 106f, and
System
Temperature is 85f. I changed the RAM and video card, and it still
keeps
on freezing. Any solutions? Anyone experience this? I know its not
the OS,
because Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, Suse, Debian, Redhat, and Mandrake
all
freeze too after a while.
Thanks
