Dell 2600 Dies Trying Long Processes

by gravitywell . Updated 20 years, 1 month ago

I have a repeat return- a Dell 2600 Inspiron- owner complained of bad 20gb Hitachi harddrive. I checked out the computer and decided it needed reformatting and reinstall of software. Everything worked fine until several day’s use on the net and ran antivirus check. (AVG free) Displayed a message something bad happened during check. Everything was messed up- wouldn’t boot- had to reformat again and reload… worked fine until trying to download an update on Zonealarm- computer locked up 19 minutes into download (dialup connection) now will have to reformat again because it wouldn’t get past XP splash screen.
Any ideas?
