Behave. :D
Get some electrical contact cleaner (which is a liquid, and is perfectly safe on electronics). Give it a thorough cleaning and it will be fine.
A friend of mine came to me with a very similar sounding problem. Turned out he hadn't installed the risers between the motherboard and the case. So the mobo was shorting on the case.
Risers in, sorted.
I'm absolutely not suggesting you've done this ;)
Unfortunately, after weeks of joy, I've had 3 hangs in one day!! A quick (over an hour!) chkdsk later, and it doesn't appear to be the same sort of errors:
Chkdsk was executed in read/write mode.

The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume dismounted. All...
Just played another ~4hr session with no hang. The problem was getting so bad that I felt as though I was getting a hang every time I played. I actually had 3 in one session at one point. The game I'm into at the moment has it's expansions stored on the 'D' (*had to edit because D followed by a...

I've been running the process monitor for a couple gaming sessions now and, would you believe it, no hangs xD
If hard drives could be an issue, I should explain that I have 2. I used to be really anal about keeping my games and 'My Documents' separate to the drive with windows on so that when...

If you need more specifics, let me know. I've downloaded that Process Monitor and I'm about to place the system...
My pc has this wonderful trait of hanging for almost exactly 3mins at a time, and then carrying on as if nothing happened. It's been going on for a long time now, and I am at the point where I want to try and find out what's going on. So, the problem in detail:
PC hangs and is completely...
A friend of mine told me he'd buy all my "old crap" off me as he just loves messing around with pc bits.
Offered to sell him an old Athlon/Sempron with about 1GB ram and a 9800pro in a case and already up and running with a clean XP pro install for £50.
He declined, saying he could get all...
I've got an old logitech keyboard which is a basic windows keyboard with 3 extra buttons for internet, email and search (looks like this one, extra buttons are above the arrow keys).
I've never had to install the provided software for these buttons to do as you'd expect (open default browser...
yeah, once we've had it running successfully for a bit I'm going to look into ssh.
Thanks for your help :)
I've heard mention of an ssh shell running as a daemon or something. Know anything about that, or indeed any pointers on how I'd get the ssh on the go?
Ok, I think that's a virtual server on my router. The virtual server setup asked for a public port and a private port (both of which i put 3690) and the LAN IP. That sound right?
The svnserve service is set up on a user account that only has privaliges for the repository folder and it's...
I'm using svnserve.exe as a windows service. I knew the port was 3690 and I know the passwords are on the server. What I need to know is what to set the server up as on my router.
Do you mean that I need to set it as a virtual server using TCP/IP on that port on the router?
Thanks again :)...
