Frequent ME Crashes

by rstenerson Jun 4, 2005 11:30PM PDT

My PC is locking up all the time and I'm not sure why.
The PC is a Dell pentium II 333MHz oldie running ME. My 11G HD is 1.5G free. I also have 383 megs of ram. I am running Mcafee VirusScan and firewall. Does anybody have any ideas???

Thanks,

Ralph S

It was hot. Try this. Power down, remove the cover and dust it out and then the heatsinks. Now leave the cover off.

Use the machine and check those fans for top performance.

Better?
