Computer Freezes
LockedI have an old IBM thinkpad A20m, INtel III, 512 RAM and it has started to freeze like crazy. I recently installed XP SP2 and thats when my woes began…in fact I had just finished writing this earlier and went to hit submit and, hey presto, it froze again..great timing.. Anyway, I’ve run CHKDSK, to no avail and Speed fan tells me that my ACPI temp is 57..not sure what this means but the little flame beside the temp doesn’t inspire confidence. I was wondering if I should get a new HD and whilst this isn’t a problem I’m worried that I may begin a spare part purchasing spree that will result in no solution. There doesn’t seem to be any consistency with the freezes either..sometimes after 5 mins..other times hours. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all
