mumof4 Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Posted May 22, 2006 If you are running windows XP then you could try disabling "Write Caching" on the drive. Might experience a SLIGHT drop in speed of processing, but it'll reduce the amount of resources your PC is having to deal with. Have you tried this yet as it worked for a friend of mine with a similar problem. Ive tried nowt yet!!!!!seems to be running ok at the mo, but ive printed off all suggestions just in case!! Quote
mumof4 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Posted May 23, 2006 what clicking mo4 ? The tower was clicking a few seconds before it crashed,almost like when you hear a fuse/relay clicking in the car..but not as fast. Quote
Davetheref Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 MO4 Have you defragged your hard disk recently and if you havn't I would suggest doing it as that can sometimes cure a multitude of machine crashing problems. Quote

NikpV Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 what swap file?? windows virtual memory file - when windows runs out of real memory it copies some to the hard drive and reloads it when its needed - the error you got could have been reloading from the swap file anyway..gtg in a mo..got my car maintenance course this morn so ill be back after lunch! good luck Quote
