Hello sniper!

Welcome of PCHF!

If you didnt say that you wiped your HD I would say Malware, but since you did, I have no idea. I'll let someone know that your post is waiting a looksee though.

Hi Sniper, welcome to the PCHF!

Fromt he brief discription you've given us, it sounds like either an overheating issue, or there's a hardware problem with either your RAM, power supply or motherboard itself.

Can you please post your exact PC hardware specs?

i have a intel celeron 2.43 ghz proccessor.....voodoo 5 vga grapcics (64mb)card....512mb of ram samsung dvd player....lg cd re writer...and c-media sound card...come to think of it....im having trouble accessing my samsung dvd player aswell....could it be that? thanks again for your help.

What happends when you try to use it?

And does the freezing happen randomly, or when doing something specific each time? I.e. playing a game, using that dvd player ect.

And lets have a look at the temps, download and run this app:

And post back the temp and voltage readings it shows please.

thanks for that....i will do that when i get home.....it sometimes happens as soon as windows starts up.....it only started the other day....my secondary dvd rom wont load and my computer stops responding when i open it. i dont understand it....it was all working fine last week.

well .... seems to me like a hardware problem ...

you said it was working well till last week ... so .. did you install any new hardware or did you preform any changes on your current hardware ... or did you anyhow installed any soft ware that you suspect it might be effecting your hardware ??

please download this app :
