Hi. I am running Winxp on my desktop pc. I have been having trouble with my system freezing up after sitting idle for a few hours and I think it is either the dvd burner or the memory modules as the person I bought these from had both in his pc with the same problem. I do have two new sticks of ram to insert in my new pc but need to figure this out first.
This morning I went to my computer (and had to turn off/on again via power button as i have had to do every morning since i got it) and it wouldn’t connect to the network. It says a network cable is unplugged, so i checked all the cables, enabled, disabled the connection. I unplugged the cable, plugged it in to this computer that i’m currently on and it (obviously) works. I plugged it back in to new pc and it still does not work. I have ruled out the possibility of the cable being bad.
What steps do I need to take in what order to fix this problem?
Your help is appreciated!
