Computer lock up
« Reply #15 on: January 15, 2003, 05:32:30 AM »
Not sure what happened but after doing what seemed like a lot of nothing, the thing stopped freezing.

Mabey my system got tired of rebooting and said "OK you win, go and play!"

I flew all night and never locked up once.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Not really sure what it was that worked.

I do know that I did not have to change any hardware. But then again it's all new anyway.

Is this someting in the CMOS? If so, how do I change?

 


Click Start --> RUN

type:

     Sysedit


In your Config.SYS and Autoexec.bat windows, put REM in front of any entries and save and reboot.  See if you get that error message again.
