how to troubleshoot hang-up problem

[DigiBoy]

---

Hi Guys, need your super technical brain help.

my Windows XP Pentium D hangs up from time to time. Sometimes it hangs up when it loads the basic icons after loading through desktop. no BSOD

what i tried:
1. Cleaned off dust.
2. Check PSU - All RAILS are on its +/-5% tolerance
3. Used Seatools to check HDD. no Problem on HDD
4. Have 2 pcs of 1GB Dynet. I took out one and attached it in PCI port 1...stress test using memtest86+, orthos and prime. No problem reported. Tried the second stick on PCI port 1. no problem reported

but after attaching 2 sticks. intermittent problem comes back.

im thinking maybe PCI port 2 is having a problem. i will try one stick on PCI port 2 today. and see what happens... any other areas i should check?

no software/ hardware recently added.

thanks

@TS have you tried to check if grounded ba ang mobo sa casing? try kuno butang papel or any insulator each screw sa mobo tray maybe the ground cause all the random hang-ups..

this i havent tried but how do you do it? so bale..in each screw that holds the mobo. ako cya butangan ug paper? and screw the paper in together with the mobo? would be nice if naa pic para sure ko nga naka kuha ko sa imo pasabot..hehe kay first time ni nako about grounding..thanks for the quick reply pud...

actually the ram is correct and i was doing well months, years ago.

OT: i guess what you are doing is called "hitch", and it is against the rules. pls post your business under business section. thanks

1.butangi ug masking tape ang elalom sa imo mobo kanang isokanan sa screw
2.maximise ang cpu temp
3.checkdisk
4.defrag
5.check imo psu basin ok ang voltage pero low na ang amperahe
6. check imo mobo basin naa borot capacitors
7.butangi thermal paste ang imo processor ug heatsink
Kana lng sa...ky mura ubay2 na....lisud na basin mahurot pa nko ug hatag hehehehehehehehe....

@qnxt... that i have to check. Maka cause pud diay na cya ug hang?

@orly... butangan nako ug insulator pero sa taas sa mobo. screw point ghpon. hmmm. sayop ni nga lugar nga butangan? kung maximize temp..dili delikado bro? about sa amperance, that i should check also.
