Windows XP hangs randomly
Oh, and would the outlets in my apartment have anything
to do with it? Because I live in a very very old house (125 years old). Could they have screwed up my power supply some how? -----Original Message----- Underpowered Power Supply? I have seen this cause the symptoms that you describe. Bobby "Rachael" wrote in message ... Hello, I've been having this problem for several month and don't know what's causing it. My computer will randomly hang when I start a program. It doesn't happen with a specific program, it can happen with any. It usually happens soon after I turn it on when i start the first program. However, it has happened randomly at other times. For example, I'll double click on IE, nothing will happen. I'll try other programs, nothing will happen. However, if I right click on icons or the desktop, the menus still come up. If I choose something in the menu, nothing happens. Then, anywhere between 2 and 25 minutes later, all the things I clicked on to open, open all at once!! CTRL + ALT + DEL doesn't even work! If I do CTRL + ALT + DEL, the task manager just comes up later with everything else!! It's driving me mad! I have no idea what is wrong. No viruses, I've got rid of all spyware, i've defraged and run checkdisk. all devices are working. Any ideas?? This is the first support forum I've tried. Thanks! . |

Windows XP hangs randomly
I did some research. This is my power supply:
75W external Universal AC adaptor input voltage (100 - 240V 50/60Hz Frequency (Universal), output voltage (15V, 5A) Can I even get a better one? Is this something a warrenty should cover. -----Original Message----- How could I find that out? By power supply, what exactly do you mean?? The computer is now only about a year old. It's a Toshiba laptop. Thanks! -----Original Message----- Underpowered Power Supply? I have seen this cause the symptoms that you describe. Bobby "Rachael" wrote in message ...
