I give up, computer feeze's up whenever it wants. Sometimes even typing emails or just plain old surfing.
-Scan disk finds no problems.
-Disk defrag wont run past 0% complete.
-Windows updater (I have Windows ME) freezes when I try to update.
-Try to configure FrontPage 2000 to work off the server adn not a local file and it freezes up when I try to open the site.
-If the computer sit's for a period of time, instead of going into "Stand-by" mode, it freezes on the desk top.
-McAfee is current and says system is clean.
-Spy-Bot is current and shows nothing that it hasnt shown for the last 2 years.
-Ad-aware is current and has caught and deleted 44 "items" but the problem has been happening before this was done.
-CD-burner wont recognize cd's and wont burn. Doesnt matter if it is trying to make a cd from internal material or from the outside. Just wont work.
What else can I do or what can I check to correct this or is it time to take it in and have it serviced and "cleaned"?
As I find more times that it freeze's, I am going to EDIT this post. Perhaps eventually me, or someone more computer savey than I will see a trend.
Also, when doing a Ctrl-Alt-Delete (when it freezes, not even tis works. I have to turn off power to the cpu) to see what programs are running, which ones should be running just after start-up? I have 21 running and I dont have any idea what most of them are.
Here are the ones showing:
Task Panel, Explorer, Mpftray, Rnathchk, Wuauclt, Hpzipm12, Hpqtra08, Hptskmgr, Mpfagent, Hpcmpmgr, Quickdcf, Plguni, Qttask, Mcagent, Hpwuschd, Devgulp, Systray, Mcvsrte, Conmgr, Mcvsescn, Type32
