Hi All,
This is a bit of a long shot, but here goes.
My computer is never switched off, runs 24\7 as I consider an even operating temperature is probably a better option for all the hardware than the heating\cooling and expansion\contraction that must occur during on\off cycles.
After long periods of inactivity, usually first thing in the morning, my computer freezes up completely. As soon as I move the cursor it just turns off instantly and re-boots to a scandisk startup. I've tried Ctrl/Alt/Del to see what applications may be running, but there is no response at all. This happens whether applications are left running or the computer is just idling. This does not always happen, probably every second day.
Computer is about 4 years old running Win Me, all O/S patches are up to date and I have not recently installed any new software. I regularly run Ad-Aware\Spybot\Defrag and have Zone Alarm installed.
It's not really a major inconvenience but I would like to know what's causing this behaviour. Any suggestions appreciated.
Regards
Two dogs
