I am using an ecs main board with a 1.5 p4 and sis 650/961
chipset. I have two hd's with 512mg of ddr 2100 ram. The
problem is the system hangs up if I try to install large
programs or if I try to run virus scan. Could not install
windows xp because of this problem, so, I am currently
using 2k pro. Anyone wiyh any ideas? I would greatly
appreciate..........

Willie

Thanks in advance
 
Please post the following information which might help reveal the cause of
the problem. Boot the computer to Safe Mode and try to run a virus scan. How
long have you let the computer sit in a hung status? Does the mouse pointer
still move when it's hung. Will the Num Lock key toggle the indicator light?
Can you copy large files from one folder to another? Has this system always
had this behavior, or is it a recent problem? If recent, do you recall any
changes to hardware or software that may have occurred just prior?

Hi,
Click to expand...
I tried starting up in safe mode and running virus scan
with the same results. After scanning about 7000 files it
froze and I had to reboot. I have let it set in hung
status over night and it remains in that status until I
reboot. The mouse pointer doesn't move, there is no
response from the key board or anything. I recently
aquired the system, so, I do not know if there is an
inherent problem or not. I am not sure about copying large
files, but, I am going to try. I do know that I can't run
disk clean, or the mem86 memory test...........
