OK...how about an old [maybe not that old] computer problem? I am
prepping a Compaq Presario 5000 [700 MHz, 256Mb RAM, Win2K Pro] for my
son-in-law. Everything runs good, all loaded with all the needed Win2K
updates, Office 2K, IE/OE6, etc]...but it has a problem!! After about an
hour using the Internet, it freezes...no Mouse, no Keyboard, no response
at all...last screen fully visible, PC fans and power supply still
running. Strangely, it is apparently NOT a thermal/time problem as it
can sit for hours downloading Internet updates, but only seems to happen
with changing screens, pages, clicking links, etc. The only problem that
I seem to have noted is that a lot of the PC functions are using the
same IRQ11 [a problem?]. Any ideas on what to look for and how to
identify the problem? TIA...John
