I have a Win-XP PC based on a soyo mb and an athlon 1.33 processor. It has
been running fine for about 2 years. This past week, it began doing
stop/system dumps and, at times, just rebooting. The system also is now
prone to freezing up at times throughout the day. Here is what I have
looked at so far:
1) Done numerous virus scans with 2 different programs (AVG & Avast) and
up-to-date virus databases. No viruses were found.
2) Ran both DocMem and Memtest for a couple of hours each with no memory
errors.
One other clue seems to be that it reboots most frequently in the first hour
or so after I turn the on PC in the morning.
I am wondering what to do next. Could a bad power supply cause this or do I
need to replace the MB or CPU? What would the experts on this newsgroup do?
thanks,
