Hi there
I'm running a 466mhz celeron pc with windows 98 se. I've been experiencing problems since christmas with the PC just rebooting itself while it's switched on. I tried disabling the power mgt options, but they don't seem to have made any difference. It also freezes occasionally, especially just after you boot up. It also reboots itself in scandisk at startup. This morning, it rebooted itself in windows, started running scandisk, rebooted itself there, then succesfully ran scandisk, but froze in Windows while I was connecting to the NAI website.
I have tried adding a new 20GB harddrive to create some room on my primary 8GB harddrive. I also changed the IDE cables connecting the hard drives and the CD rom to the motherboard. I noticed when I added the new HD and IDE cables, the problems eased for about 1week. I also added 128mb (total 192mb) but it although the extra RAM is picked up in Windows, there is not noticeable improvement.
I've run a virus scan and picked up nothing, although my DAT is about 4 months old. I've updated it this morning and will run another scan shortly.
Since the PC is out of warranty, I cant get any tech support. Anyone have any suggestions ?
Much appreciated
