Windows XP home edition,
been working fine for about a year.
Haven't installed any software recently or added any hardware.
Current Norton AV flags system as being virus free.
Every so often (about 15 minutes, but it does vary)
the system just locks up. Mouse pointer sits there, system doesn't respond.
ctrl-alt-del doesn't work.
have to re-boot system.
I have noticed that every few minutes, the primary hard drive kicks in
- don't know if this is relevant or not.
Any ideas out there?
oh, I have added a couple of cooling fans recently, they suck air in from
the front over the hard drives - possible overload on system psu?
cheers
