k.. this is getting out of hand.. before it only happened when i was leaving the pc to download stuff overnight.. but now its happening every friggin hour.. .. i leave my pc .. come back.. frozen.... and once or twice.. it happened while i was on it.. .. and sometimes when i reboot... not all icons are in the systray (i.e..norton antivirus, blackice firewall and some other stuff i cant recall.. the only new hardware ive installed is the ati radeon 9550.. and the overnight jams started over a month ago so i cannot recall which software i installed that might have provoked this.. im trying to do a defrag.. but itll jam.. i can try doing a scandisk.. but itll prolly jam as well...HELP
okay.. this is an old post that i posted in another forum, but they abandoned tryign to help me.. so.. im bringing this issue here... now it only jams..overnight or when im heavily downloading (6 to 10 torrents at once)... ive also replaced both dimms of ram (previously 2x256) to 2x512 now...and my motherboard can handle a maximum of 2 gigs of ram.. so thats not a problem.. someone told me it could be dust.. i cleaned that... umm.. someone else told its heat.. and now i have a regular fan blowing into the case.. but it still jammed today
so please help... im doing a test now.. and not downloading as we speak.. if it still jams.. thatll eliminate 1 possibility.. also.. i send my downloads to my 2nd hard drive.. hope it helps
