indranil Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hallooo,I have been using Windows 98 and then Me since time immemorial. I also had Windows XP which I did not use because it suffers from a strange problem. First of all, my system is a Celeron A 500 Mhz processorVesta motherboard with Intel i810e chipset and integrated AC '97 sound.128MB SD-RAM40 GB Samsung HDD (upgraded)40x Acer CD8x4x32x iomega CD-RW drive15" LG monitorWell, the problem, as I recently found out, is not limited to XP alone, but also on 2000.The problem is that whenever I run XP or 2k, after running for half-an-hour or so, the system SEEMS to go to standby, only thing is that it does not wake-up, CD eject buttons don't work, the monitor goes to standby, the HDD-LED keeps lit, and pressing the Reset button gets me nowhere. The only thing to do is to press the Power button and Power back on.This does not happen in 98 or Me.PLEASE HELP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeenThereB4 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Marginal memory chips that run win98 just fine will fail under win2000 or XP. That may well be your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
