So after the computer has been on for a while it seems to freeze. Usually around a day, but it differs every time.
The mouse works, I can talk on AIM, I can right click on the desktop... but when I try to open IE, winamp, notepad, wmplayer, or any type of program it just sits there. I try to open process manager but that won't even open. I try to close running programs, they won't close. I try shutting down, it won't shut down. I have to click the reset button on my case.
After I restart the computer, its works perfectly until it happens to freeze up again.
I checked my hard drive with speed fan and the drive seems just fine. I dont know if I should reinstall windows or not.
I'm thinking it might be a hardware issue. Possibly the memory? I always seem to get problems with programs and memory reference errors on random programs.
I guess i'm gonna run memtest86 and see what that says, but do you guys have any other suggestions? Could it be anything else that's wrong with it?
