(Lack Of) Windows Stability

Posted on Posted in Uncategorized

Pet Peeve with this PC. Sometimes the computer crashes. But what is strange is that it seems not be the PC that crashes itself – it seems to be the video system that crashes. It seems that all the system resources get taken up, and nothing can be done to fix things. CTRL-ALT-DEL fails. Or more correctly they work, but not well.

One time when it recovered after some persuasion (today) I had about 30 copies of the Task Manager running. That took a lot of resources I can tell you. Argh.

I am hoping that XP Service Pack 2 will fix the problem but I am not confident of this.
