Hi.
I have some problem with an old Compaq Presario 2100. When running programs from the harddrive, the system generally freezes quite fast. When doing the same from my USB stick, there are no problem. It's not a heat problem. Both harddrive and system are far below any temperature that could cause any problems.
I have no problem formatting a 100 GB harddrive or to install Windows XP, but as soon as I start using the computer, f ex. installing drivers etc. the computer freezes. If I do the same and run software from the USB stick there are no problem what so ever.
Anyone have a clue to what could be the problem? Is it the IDE controller?
Kind regards
Lasse
