Hello
I recently tried sorting out my brothers PC but have run into a major problem. It crashes constantly. Its made of parts from my old PC so nothing is particularly new. Most of the crashing appears during the Win XP loads screen. I am suspecting its the hard drive packing up, although no errors appear in Scandisk. If the bearing on the hard drive or the heads on the drive were dying would errors appear in Scandisk.
I am hoping someone has an idea. To me the crashing seems kind of random and can appear at any time.
Not sure what else to put down but I have unplugged the cd drive and changed the cables and connector to see if that had any effect and it didn't. Any clues?
