    I finally got sick of the constant freezeups. I couldn't run any tests fully so I formatted a new disk and reinstalled Windows. There was traces of an old installation on the other disk and I am hoping that it was this that was causing the problems. I will wait and see. Up to now the machine has...

    I haven't ran the other test yet. I get a lot of stops and have not been able to run it for 12hrs on the SP 2004 test. What is the stated error message supposed to tell me. Does it not tell you what the hardware failure is?

    Ok. I'll give memtest a run and a longer run with SP. I have had a freeze up three times just trying to make this reply. If my memory is ok at the end I am going to disconnect all my drives except for Boot and CD. I will include the floppy drive as that has been giving me trouble as well (no...

    Well after lots of freezing I tried running the test again. Does this tell you anything? I had left the machine running and left it. I didn't get back till much later and found it hadn't run very long. Type: Blend - stress CPU and RAM Min: 8 Max: 4096 InPlace: No Mem: 127 Time: 15 CPU...

    I will have a good look to see if anything is loose. I forgot to mention that my ISDN modem was drawing too much power and it was the cause of the PS stoppages. The modem kept disconnecting and my ISP said that some more people were experiencing the same problems and they sent me a different...

    Well thanks for the info. I ran the SP2204 test but I didn't know how long to run it. The message on screen saying 'Test 1, 4000 Lucas-Lehmer iterations of M19922945 using 1024K length' . I don't know what that all means. Do I wait for it to say 'test 2' etc? There is no count of iterations...

    Thanks for your replies. My system is Win2000pro. I have only added another hard disk lately and that is working ok. I don't know how to run the stress tests. I have done a complete reinstall of the OS because I hoped this would clear the problem. I don't do much to overload the system I only...

    I don't know which forum to use so I hope I will be redirected. The question is about freezeups. Does anyone know how to track down what may be causing them (and much frustration)? They seem to occur mostly while on-line although I had a freezeup during the boot process once (I don't know if...

    Well that link proved useful. I will stick with the FAT at the moment but I will change it in any future installs or upgrades. Thanks anyway.

    I thought it was the only option. I know that 2 of my discs are NTFS but I am not any wiser, at least I know what FAT means. As long as it works I am happy enough. What is the difference anyway? The knowledge should come in useful in the future.

    Well format has finished now and everything is ok. It has taken nearly 2 hrs for FAT32. I am not very conversant with file structures but this should be all right for back up of my music files. Again many thanks for your help.

    Is it supposed to take a long time? It's only up to 6% and has taken about 20min at least so far.

    If I go into disk management I am given 4 unidentified icons and the 4 known ones. In the window which shows the 200g disk it says 'not allocated' and gives no drive letter. If I right click on this disc I don't get an option to initialize. Do you have to format a new disk? I didn't format the...
