Default pc lock ups
Hey all

got another problem (and with my recent posts you wouldnt know im a tech)

One of my pc is doing random lock ups and freeze so have to reset the pc for it to work...

I already did a ram test (mem test on UBCD 4.11) with no errors on 3 passes
Did a cpu test ( OCCT with only the cpu being monitored for an hour) and it shows stable

the user works on xp + has a VMware running XP also and lock ups occur once or twice a day....
now im wondering what other test i can do...
any ideas??

PC specs:
P4 3.00 GHZ
1 GB ram ddr2
74.5 GB Hard drive
Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT (dual monitor)

Thanks

Hmm, does it just lock up or does it give any kinda error/bsod?

First thing I'd try is making sure everything (inc drivers) is up to date.

We had solved the problem by changing the PSU and doing a dust cleanup. Since we'd been using a PCI video card with a virtual machine and two screens, it needed a bit more juice.
