OK, I have this weird thing going on with my computer. Every once in a while, the screen will hang, but it differs in how it happens: Sometimes it will hang completely and the speaker in my computer will buzz momentarily. Sometimes background processes will hang, but I can still move the mouse for a while, then that will hang after a few seconds. Here's the weird part: if I have winamp playing, it will continue through with the song, then stop playing after that song is done - even if there's another one directly after it on the playlist. If the screen has turned off then hangs, it won't come back on if I move the mouse.
The hangs seem to come at random times. Sometimes I'll come back to my comp after a few hours and it will have frozen. SOmetimes it will be in the middle of doing stuff on the computer.
I don't believe it's a heat problem, but I have no way of telling as the sensors on my mobo are defective.
I pretty much have the newest drivers except for video card, which I updated a few months ago.
Here's my sys:
850 Mhz Athlon
MSI k7t pro 2a mobo (4-in-1 drivers installed)
geforce 2mx 32 Mb graphx
512 RAM
soundblaster live value
Alpha cooling fan, heatsink compound applied
case fans - 2 blowing in, 1 blowing out
I've had troubles in the past with the computer shutting down randomly to a completely blank screen. This has come and gone twice (it lasted for a month or so each time).
Plz help me out with this!!!! Thanks guys
