My desktop system has developed an annoying problem: every once in a while it just freezes, totally dead in the water [only a 5-second push on the power button will get it to reboot]. It's happened twice already today: I discover it because my desktop gets all screwed up and I chase the problem down to its having trouble "mounting" drives from the desktop system, and then I look at the desktop system and find it frozen.
I've done all sorts of scans and my system is totally virus and "-ware" free, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I'm guessing hardware [my powersupply died a week or so ago and I wouldn't be surpised to learn that something else got damaged as it flaked out] but the fact is I haven't a clue how to pursue this. Only thing I can think of is to run some sort of *something* all the time that'll leave some tracks so I might have a hint about what was happening just before the system locked up... Windows [XP/Pro] doesn't seem to have any sort of hardware diagnostic suite... Is there one someone might recommend? /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
