Re: Computer problems.

Hi Jederas,

Some quick questions:

- Did you install anything new recently? Driver software updates, new
  devices, new controller, graphics card swap, etc.

  If so, then there could be a driver conflict or a memory leak from a
  possibly corrupted driver. If you have an idea of what the driver is,
  removing it and then re-installing it either from the CDrom again, or
  from a new download, may help.

- Does the machine feel warm to the touch about around the time the system
  crashes? Does removing the case allow the system to run longer? 

  If so, it could be heat that's causing your computer to fail.

- Have you overclocked your machine in anyway? Or has something physical
  recently been done to your computer or the cables about it? It could be
  that one of the plugs are loose or something or if you had overclocked
  it, it might be causing the problem.

- Your computer might just be possessed.

Wing.
