OK...where to start.....I am running a custom built comptuer with a p3 500mhz slot 1 processor, a superpower motherboard, 8 gig hard drive, 320mb ram, and windows xp professional......Several months ago my comptuer stoped working ,and the repair guy found that dust had clogged the processor fan, causing it to burn out...the then 450mhz processor was replaced with a 500 mhz, and i changed the jumper settings myself........
Now when i leave the computer on for about 5-30 minutes idle, or if i try and do anything major in dos, the computer freezes.....i dont feel this is software related as it freezes in dos, and I have formatted the drive before. Some people suggest that the computer is overheating, but i dont know why it would do that/it still freezes with the case open.....could this be a kind of hardware failure or is it indeed overheating, please email me or replay with any suggestions as i am quite desperate at this point
