Two very common and documented problems with intermittent freezing are: 1) Win95's graphic acceleration and many Trident video cards -- remedy: turn graphics acceleration down in your system settings 2) Microsoft Office's Find Fast, a disk/memory caching utility that causes systems to freeze -- remedy: take Find Fast out of your Win95 start-up There are numerous other things to try, but try these first. Hope this helps, gary r. tennesen [log in to unmask] P.S. I had a machine that had this problem and I replaced every component one-by-one (memory, video card, motherboard, etc.) none of that solved the problem until I turned down the graphics acceleration. > -----Original Message----- > From: PCBUILD - Personal Computer Hardware discussion List > [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Dharam Bhardwaj > Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 1998 5:28 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [PCBUILD] Intermittent System Freeze up > > > I am attempting to trace the cause of this. > > Configuration: P200, i430tx, AT, 3 gig hdd ide, sound, modem. > Windows 95, no nic. > Socket7 ball bearing fan. > Symptom: > Machine will freeze at random and has to be powered off/on. > ----- PCBUILD mailing list - http://nospin.com Bob Wright:[log in to unmask] - Drew Dunn:[log in to unmask]
