Well everything was fine for this computer then god knows what happened. All other pcs running the same work fine without any issues. Pc is running office 2000 with outlook 2000 aswell, exactly the same version as the other pcs. The problem arises from trying to send an email from within an...

hiya yeah when i replaced the cpu I also changed the fan. unsure what temp its running at, but theres a fan in there(room fan) and an adequate air conditioning unit :S and how quick is faster than normal? surely not in a few days

because im using the pc remotely in some cases, and can access it by \\compname\c$ then when it dies, I cant access it, and it wont allow me to get to that location and so on.

I doubt its the monitor, else it just wouldnt display, but it cuts the network connection and so on aswell

I was thinking that, its been spyware checked and virus checked(nothing) but even so, if it was that, how come it'd kill the network connection to that pc, and odbc links to that pc and half shut down the pc? I dont know what else to try?

Argh! I spoke to soon! Its just died again, Same problem (lost connection to it, screen is black and pc is acting like dead) but the cpu fan is spinning, another fan is spinning and the motherboard lights are on, and the network port is flashing. So now: I've replaced the motherboard, ive...

Hi all! Well, friday night I replaced the PSU. It hasnt died since :D touch wood. Thanks for the help and suggestions people, much appreciated

Ive got a spare psu, so will change that if it goes down. Could that be it though, about it cutting back the power? The bios hasnt been upgraded, but should that really be the issue? if nothings changed on it, how come it would suddenly die? Im thinking PSU though..

Hi there, thanks for the reply. Ive just checked on the pc, and theres no Hibernate tab available. I think its because its a windows 2000 server pc perhaps? Any other suggestions? unsure if it would be hibernate, connections to that pc are lost aswell so im assuming its totally died, plus the...

Hi there. Having big problems with a computer at the moment. Every now and again the pc decided to die, and just turn off, or so it appears. None of the fans are running, and it is as if the PC is dead, yet a press of the power button does not turn this back on again as you would expect; you...

Well, in the printer status it just says spooling and thats it. cancelling the print job, or deleting it does nothing either. Its already got the latest drivers too :s what setting in bios would i be looking for?

Dont suppose anyones had this issue before. Trying to print to a printer from a webpage. The first time you do it, the status just sticks at spooling for ages/never prints, until i either restart the print spooler service, or sometimes restart the web browser. After that it seems to work...

I've added reset on zero vc = yes to the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, but it still doesnt seem to keep the share as it should: Also, is that the right directory, ive also got these listed: ./etc/samba/smb.conf ./usr/share/doc/samba-doc/examples/dce-dfs/smb.conf...
