My pc just hangs at random moments

[r_bakker28]

Hi, first of all, when I've started up my pc, I don't autimatically get the correct IP from my provider, I have to do an IP refresh.
Second, my pc just hangs at random moments. No error message, nothing. once in a while it automatically reboots, but usually i t just hangs.
Can someone give my advice?
Thanks,
R B

What OS are you using?
Here's a link to common WinXP hang problems: http://labmice.techtarget.com/windowsxp/TroubleshootingXP/hang.htm
As you can see there's quite a few of them. :suspiciou

If none apply then it's back to standard hardware issues like driver conflict (Safe mode start-up can help determine that) Press F8 after POST.
or overheating, PSU dieing, etc.
