we have an issue with one of our proliant 380's. Ever since our data room over heated, one of our servers randomly freezes for about a minute or two. Any ideas? Running Win 2003 SE

OK, I haven't loaded Win 98 for at least 5 years so I may be rusty. I get this pc to load. It just freezes while copying files or formating. New motherboard and hd. tried swapping out the memory sticks and still it will go and all of a sudden it just freezes. could it be a bad cable?>...

Thanks for the responses, but I have tried everything you have suggested, with the exception of disconnecting the hard drive. The machine won't even go to the floppy for a start up diskette. I am wondering if the floppy is the problem since it just sits there with the light on but it doesn't...

I lent out a pc and when i got it back it won't boot up. the bios sees all the drives and assigns the irqs then it stops. Am I correct to suspect the cpu>?

Thanks becastner it was the promise tech driver supplied by XP. I downloaded the one from promise and now Winrar works. Thanks again craig1105

Thats what I thought at first, but I downloaded 2 other diferent rar files and it did the same. I did download just 1 rar file from a large group and it worked. Winrar extracted the 1 file and was asking for the rest of the group. Also, WinAce is doing the same thing. I think I will have to...

Oh, I forgot to mention that it happens when I try to extract a .rar file. This also happens when I use Winace to extract a file. TIA Craig

All of a sudden, everytime I try to extract a .rar file, my system freezes. My os is winxp and I have a dual Zeon 2.4 processor system with 1.5 gig of memmory and almost a Tb of space.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think this is the issue. I re-imaged the c drive with a bkup image to xp sp1. So sp2 is not on the new image. I am suspecting the powersupply. What do you think. This pc is only 2.5 yrs old and it has dual xeon p4 processors.

I upgraded to xp service pack 2 on compaq ws8000. it has dual zeon 2.4 processors and 1.5 gig of ram and 1Tb of space. After the upgrade, the bios loads and the black windows xp logo with the blue bar. when that is finished a black screen comes up and stays there for 7 to 10 mins. the the...

I have noticed that when windows XP pro starts up it takes around 20 to 30 seconds for networking to start up. My other machine starts up normally. I have nortons antivirus running, but is I disable it, it has no effect. I am wondering if this is a charateristic of Compaq w8000 machine or some...

I was wondering if you have reinstalled XP yet, but if you didn't, you could do a system restore back to the first day you installed XP the first time. I use it alot and it actually goes back in time. If you reinstall XP you might have to call Microsoft to activate it. I had too, it won't...

Does anyone know what is happening during the blue welcome screen in windows xp prof. I had a program error during installation and now it takes twice as long to go thru the blue welcome screen. Any Ideas? Craig

dudes, thanks for your input, but the problem was a bad intergrated video card. I changed out the motherboard and it works fine now. later!

I have a system thats about 3 yrs. old. all of a sudden it keeps rebooting on it own. it gets just about where windows finishs loading and it reboots. safe mode works, so i think it might a driver or something. Any Ideas?
