Hello
I have Windows XP SP2 running on AMD Athlon 2600 with 1GB Ram.
My screen and keyboard/mouse freeze randomly. I have not noticed any pattern to the freezing i.e it does not seem to be associated with any program that I run or the duration the computer has been running. When the screen freezes i'm left with a frozen display i.e it is no blank but the mouse and keyboard do not respond.
So far I have tried the following:
a) spyware/adware removal - I run spybot and adaware 6 regularly.
I regularly update AVG and ZA. My computer doesn't seem to have any virus/trojan.
c) I cleaned the computer on the inside as someone suggested it might be due to overheating of motherboard.
d) I do not notice anything suspicious in the event viewer (except a missing adildir.sys warning).
Is there a way to check if something is wrong with the processor?
Any other ideas to resolve this will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
