My mums PC was freezing up ie No response from mouse or keyboard shortly after start up. It had 98ME on it so I reformatted with 98SE but it still freezes up the same.
My Daughters PC was running XP and doing the same and after stripping out all but essential components, reformats and finally dropping back to 98SE it still doesnt work.
Someone told me it was probably hardware related ie fault on motherboard or processor. Does anyone know if this is true or is there some way I can save either of these machines.
