Hi Techspot.
I've been having a problem with my pc recently which seems to be getting worse.
A while ago I installed a new CPU cooler, and after doing so (I forget if it was immediately after, but at most a few days later) the pc started freezing after the win xp load screen. Up until recently just one click of the restart button was enough for it to load all the way into windows, where it works fine by the way. But in the past few weeks I now need anywhere from 2 to 6 restarts to get it to boot all the way into windows.
I've run memtest with no erros, everything else seems to check out fine. A while back I was looking into this and came across some suggestions for clearing CMOS, which I tried, but with no results, so I kind of let it be. But now it's becoming rather irritating that it won't boot when I want it to hehe.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
