Computer locking up

by paulpass . Updated 18 years ago

Hi – Im in the process of troubleshooting a
3Ghz P4 that locks up after running anywhere from
2 hours to 30 hours. The lockup does not occur running in safe mode. The OS is Xp Pro Sp2, HD is a new 350Gb WD and OS just installed – very
little extra software was installed. If it runs
okay in safe mode would that discount some of the
hardware being a problem? Mobo , CPU, HD temps
are all quite satisfactory. 1 GB of Ram made up
of 2 512Mb sticks passed the memtest86+ test
but still ran the PC with each one individually
in each of the 4 slots and still the lockup occurred…. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
Paul
