Post by: Turumbar on September 23, 2001, 12:01:15 PM
well, I\'ve been having problems with win2k for no aparent reason.
the computer freeze (no mouse or kb) but I can still hear mp3 for a few seconds.

This does not happen under win98

any ideas?I\'m using an Athlon 950 with a Gigabyte 7ZXR Mobo, (VIA chipset)

When it locks can you Press CTRL +ALT +DEL.
Is there anything (Not responding)?
Press the \"Num lock\" key on the key board does it turn the light on and off? (Locked)

Win 2k Updates inplace ?

Has this problem got worse or has it always been happening uner win2k ?

Have you added new hardware ?
Have you checked Device manager for Clashes with Hardware?

Gut feeling its a Driver issue with mabey an app that\'s been installed.

Check for new BIOS Updates /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />



Just zeros & ones ???
