gerryd77 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi AllRecently had a problem with 98se freezing on me. No new hardware or software has been installed. If the pc is left inactive for a few mins it will almost certainly freeze, and sometimes it does so whilst booting up. Ctrl, alt del doesn't work when it freezes.Don't know if it is the same problem, but scan disk and defrag no longer work. Get a message along the lines of 'scandisk has restarted 10 times...'I am only using this system in the house to surf the web and don't really want to buy a new pc for a while yet.Any ideas would be very welcome.Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsecharles Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 BTW are you getting any beeping codes on bootup?Check/toggle your hibernate / suspend settings & use your manufacturer's instructs for how to get rid of a possibly corrupted hibernate file. For example, these are Dell's: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/syst...rs.htm#recreateThese are some common ones btw:Amizvsus.pmf • Save2dsk.bin • PM_hiber.bin • Hibrn8.dat • Saveto.dsk • Toshiber.dat Try disabling in your bios the anti-vir setting, sometimes that causes problems. Then run a virus check on your MBR with your regular AV program.One of these could be going on the fritz: Bios / cmos chip, memory, hard drive, psu... Fans all ok, esp the one for your processor? Ditto Temps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
