Subject: [PCBUILD] Freezing System
> I'm trying to troubleshoot a WinXP system that's run fine for a while
> now, but recently it's become a nightmare. The CD drive has become
> inoperable, and the system constantly freezes, even as little as 30
> seconds after booting. The problem is certainly hardware, as it will
> freeze even in the BIOS setup screen. Suspecting heat, I added another
> fan to the case, even though the temperature readings I'm getting are
> fine for the system, but that has proven ineffective. The only other
> thing I can think of to mention is that the system runs perfectly fine
> if the side panel of the case is removed. This is what made me suspect
> heat in the first place, though as I said, the temperature readings are
> just fine (75-85 degrees F for early crashes). A few system specs, for
> those who might want them:
> OS: Windows XP Professional
> Motherboard: Soyo K7-VTA PRO
> CPU: AMD Athlon 800MHz
> I'd appreciate any help; I hate it when systems I built don't work. :-S
