Houston, we have a problem !!! (well, sister does in fact lol)

Why does her computer keep freezing ? No matter what its doing, in fact it can just be sat on the desktop with nothing else running, and it stops, no nothing, not even able to move the cursor

I even installed a new system on it yesterday, and it still does it which obviously points to hardware ?

Any ideas anyone ? The only one i can thing of is maybe its over heating

MadMonkey: Yep, probably over heating. Check if the fans are all working properly. Also, does it take longer to happen the first time it is switched on?

pauloaguia: Just spoke to her, must be over heating. It does it later in the day normally, when the computer has been on a few hours. I will have to get there over the weekend and see what the fans are up to. I have a few old base units in the cupboard, hopefully there is one there somewhere i can use

I told her to slide the side of the unit off just so air can get through for now

Thanks

MadMonkey: Does she hoover all the dust out on a regular basis? I do mine about once a month taking all panels off.

MadMonkey: Also check that the CPU is not overclocked or something like that. Overclocking may cause the CPU to heat more than usual, especially during the Summer...
