Hi folks
I wanted to see if anyone could confirm my suspisions.
I had a few friends over for a LAN party here in our house. We set up all the computers and I put my friends right beside mine on my brother's desk.
All of a sudden when we were playing BattleField 1942 for about 45 min my friends computer locked up. After that we were unable to get it to boot. I cracked it open and reseated the CPU. I was relieved when it started booting but that was the extent of what it would do.
The computer Reached just before the Windows load screen (Windows XP home) then it froze. After that, I tried rebooting and it stopped just after the PNP init and no more after that.
I was wondering if you guys had any initial ideas as to what might have happened.
Computer config is as follows
Windows XP home
ASUS A7N266-VM/AA bios 1004/AA
AMD Athlon 2100+
512mb PC2100
60GB Western digital HD
Lite-ON 48/28/48 Burner
Panasonic Floppy .... I think thats all
300w SPI P/S
Any input would be wonderful!
