Aaaarrgh!!! Computer stalling.
I would appreciate your help with this. Pentium 3, W98SE. Nothing new installed recently.
For around the last month my computer stalls at irregular intervals - ie, it stops whatever it is doing, usually but not always when on the net, and renders the mouse inoperable. I am unable to use Ctl-Alt-Del at all. This can happenly hourly or minute-ly as it were.
The only thing I can to is laboriously reset the computer. When I do so, and reconnect to the net, I usually have to find the page I was on over again, ie I cannot just go to History and get the page there because there will be no record of recent pages visited.
Note: the stalls can happen when I am not on the net.
I have an up to date anti virus and I have used msconfig etc and StartupCPL to see what is running: nothing unusual.
I have opened the case to blow out the dust. The fan seems ok.
Any ideas? Or is this normal for a 2 year old puter? Is it on the way out?
Any ideas gratefully received. I know from experience one of you has the answer!!
