    Can someone tell me if this could be power supply related?

    Here are the specs. It is my buddies emachine. It keeps locking up randomly. I thought it was his hard drive ( passed Western Digital tests) then thought maybe ram ( failed memtest, installed my ram thought it was running good then locked up also. When I reinstalled his ram it passed Memtest). I...

    Can someone tell me if this could be power supply related?

    Computer off and I plug in the power cord into the power supply. The cpu and power fans turn on and keep running. On my computer when I do that, they spin up for a few seconds and turn back off. On the Athlon I have to hold the power button on the front of the case for about 5-10 seconds before...

    Possible hard drive failures?

    This computer takes PC2100 but I don't have any of that laying around. I do have 512mb of PC 3200 though. Am I okay to stick that in there? It should clock down correct?

    Possible hard drive failures?

    Yeah I am not sure what all that means, I was just looking at the 74 errors. Do you know why ram would just fail? I am wondering cause I am thinking about putting my pc3200 in the computer to see if everything else works. I don't wont to fry my ram though. Although if I did, I guess I would...

    Possible hard drive failures?

    Ok I let Memtest run for a while. This is what it came up with. Next question. What about putting good ram into a computer that had its ram die on it? Any risk to the new ram? Or just try it and see. By the way it would be pc3200 ram not pc2100. Won't the 3200 just clock down to 2100 speeds? I...

    Possible hard drive failures?

    Okay, I have different computers with the same symptoms. One is a P3 650mhz, 256mb ram and the other is a 2200 Athlon Xp with 256 ram. Both of these computers have random lockups. Both of these computers lock up, but never at the same time. For instance, the P3 will go for 5 minutes before...
