It tests the memory. Run it for two complete passes. It should not take more than 2 hours. *No* errors are acceptable. If there are errors, you need to improve that aspect of your computer. 2) Hard drive diagnostic. Seagate, for example, provides "Seatools for DOS", which again, is a bootable test tool. You can run a test on the 320GB drive, and see if it is healthy. The above tests can also be left running longer. It would be interesting to see if those tests, can run longer than 20-30 minutes. 3) You can run Prime95 in Windows as a stress test. http://majorgeeks.com/Prime95_d4363.html When asked to "Join GIMPS", respond "I'm just stress testing" and use the software to test your CPU and memory. Again, this test will perform two functions. If your CPU is stable, the test will continue to run with no stops or errors reported. If the test runs past the 20-30 minute point, that may also tell you something. Start with some tests, and see how your hardware responds. Freezing or rebooting problems can be difficult to diagnose, because they typically leave no trace afterwards, as to what has happened. You may not find anything in the Event Viewer. So you have to devise other tests as a substitute. While this is a large download, you can also try booting a Linux LiveCD. And see if it lasts longer than 20-30 minutes. http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html KNOPPIX_V6.0.1CD-2009-02-08-EN.iso 660558 KB (ISO9660, burn a CD with Nero) KNOPPIX_V6.0.1CD-2009-02-08-EN.iso.md5 1 KB (checksum) That CD, when it boots, looks like this. http://www.lidux.de/images/desktops/knoppix-60-250.jpg You can even get a copy of Prime95 that runs under Linux, so once Knoppix 6.0.1 is booted, you can use the built-in browser, to visit mersenne.org and get Prime95. http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/ http://mersenneforum.org/gimps/mprime259.tar.gz ( gzip -c -d mprime259.tar.gz | tar xf - Then execute the 4MB "mprime" file. ) HTH, Paul |

I would recommend booting from a linux live cd or from a usb flash drive and backup to another hard drive, pc or removeable media such as cd-r/dvd+/-r. If you have two cd/dvd drives, a writer and a ROM, boot the live cd from the ROM and you can use the writer while booted to the live cd. If you only have one drive there are a few distributions that can be loaded into ram e.g. DSL (Damn Small Linux) www.*damnsmalllinux*.org/ Puppy Linux www.*puppylinux*.org/ I use linux quite a lot, especially for stress testing and diagnosing hardware problems. I think that UBCD might be a better choice in this case as it is more user friendly. It has a collection of tools for testing hard drives, ram (memtest86+) and other components. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ I also agree with Paul about booting from a linux live cd as it can rule out a windows problem. -- Mark Mckee CompTIA A+ Certified www.comptie.org |

System Hang...problem is HDD or OS.
Is your system error free?
Are there any other Warning or Error reports in the System or Application logs in Event Viewer during the last 48 hours? You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important. A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. When did you last run Disk CleanUp and Disk Defragmenter? How much free disk space as a % is your C partition? -- Hope this helps.
