Hi Guys,
I am very new to this though I have been a member for about 8 years. I have just used the group to search for problems, read the results and work it out from there..many thanks for all the help 🙂
This time I a flumoxed …
My daughter plays on Second Life and keeps pinching my computer so I decided to upgrade an old pc for her.
I have a few ancient pc’s lying around. The CD’s and HDD and floppies works … so I thought well just upgrade the Motherboard, CPU, RAM and PSU and she has everything needed.
So I bought an Intel 775 Motherboard+6.0GHz Intel Dual Core+2GB DDR2 and built a new pc.
So first it didn’t like the o/s. But I have the original XP Pro cd so reinstalled XP. And, in theory it all works ..
except that give it two jobs to do at once … and it crashes and reboots ..
and I mean easy jobs … like downloading something and then try opening IE … reboot?!?!
I have been trying to solve this for two days .. have installed every Windows upgrade .. but seems my new “high speed system” (well higher than before) … just can’t take pressure ..
I would appreciate any advice ..
Maybe I should add for the really tech guys .. I had a hard time reinstalling XP … lots of blue screens ..
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
but finally it installed ..
thanks
Chris
