The programs I am using do not run on anything other than XP. The computers are not on the web only networked to each other.
This is a new problem unrelated to XP. The system has been running for years with no failures to speak of. Now I have three used computers, all using different graphics cards, new power supplies, etc and suddenly this crops up? Something must be common to affect two out of the three computers at the same time.
I searched for software to monitor the computers but cannot find anything that gives me what I want. All the monitoring programs are designed to do is watch keystrokes and the like to see where the computer is going while I want to see failures, power outputs and needs, temperatures and such to get a lead on what might be going wrong. Do you have a suggestion as to what program I might download and try?
For example if the building power is low, would that not put a load on the PC power supply and maybe give a lower output to the graphic card, causing it to fail?
One of the usual reasons for freezing in my experience has been failures of the graphics card, sometimes the card just refuses to work in that particular PC any longer although it still works in some other PC. But there are other reasons for freezing and maybe I need to look for them.
I have a time constraint, a big job for the Simulator later this month and need it to work.
