Pls help. I have run XP for about 1 year now an everything was fine. I upgraded it from win98 se. Recently tho, it started to crash alot so i decided to to a reformat an reinstall as i had previously done. For some reason, now the system freezes (the diplay still works but cannot move mouse pointer or press any keys). I cant work out what it could be.
It happens when i use 'all seeing eye' to get on counterstrike server, but it can also happen when im just trying to browse on the internet or even when i have kazaa up an runnin. Sometimes it happens after 10mins sometimes after an hour or so. At first I thought it could be my gfx card or processor overheating but im running 4 main fans in my tower and i've ven tried leaving the cover off. Everytime it freezes i have to reset machine and scandisk starts to truncate some files (normally the progs which were running) Does anyone know what TRUNCATING IS?. I have now reformatted anout 5 times an reinstalled XP full (as opposed to upgrade from win98se). I have D/L all the latest winXP updates. I don't know what else i can do. Wots worse is that ELSA has folded so i cant even get any gfx card support.
1.2Ghz Athlon
384meg SDRAM 133
a-bit KT7A motherboard
ELSA Gladiac Geforce2 GTS (latest detonator drivers 30.82XPdrivers)
I was under the impression that when you reformat and reinstall everything should work okay. Does XP have configuration files which stay on HD after reformat??
