Another day, and another dying PC...
My old medion relic finally gave up so i went and got this 2nd hand PC a few months ago, a hp compaq dc7600, which is one of these....
Specs for this model can be found here if needed.
Mine has the P4 2.8ghz CPU, plus i have added more RAM (2.5gb total) and a dvd drive, apart from that, its stock, im running XP home sp3, comodo firewall and avast antivirus
All fine, until it started playing up earlier on, the first symptom of it starting to go wrong is when browser windows wont load and freeze up, you can still open new tabs, but they dont do anything, you just get a blank white new tab that never ever loads, so at this point i usually close the browser, if you leave it long enough the whole browser shows the 'not responding' blue and white symbol and thats about it, PC deaded.
Sometimes i get an error box which says this...
Doesnt matter if i press yes or no here, as the whole thing goes into an infinate loop and the darned box just comes back up again asking the same question every few seconds regardless of my preference of yes or no.
The keyboard and mouse still respond but just dont do anything as the whole thing has locked up, i click on start and nothing happens, but i can click on stuff like desktop icons, but again, they just never ever load, i clicked on my computer earlier when it did it and 1 hour later i still had a blank my computer window and an hourglass mouse icon, i then could not close it,
If i crtl alt del it lets me into task manager, and i can almost kill processes, until it comes to the do you want to terminate this process yes/no screen, and i choose yes or no, makes no difference which one, task manager glitches so the yes no box has kind of superimposed itself into the task manager main window, its like the box has gone but the image of it has stayed if that makes sense, and then my task manager is frozen too.
Now heres the oddest bit, i can right click on my desktop when this has happened, so if i select properties (havent tried the other options yet) it seems like it has frozen up that part as well, but after literally 10 minutes wait you get the 'bomm' critical stop error sound and an error message, which shows this...
That error makes zero sense, i do have the permissions, as im admin on it and am the only person who uses it, so im definately allowed!
I havent installed anything at all new on this machine for weeks and weeks, the last 3 thing i put on here were about a month or ago, and were photoshop, virtualdj and LFS, so i very much doubt any of those would cause it, plus its been fine for the 3 or 4 weeks since they were installed.
I have done a scan, well 3 virus scans, all came up clean, 0 infections found, malwarebytes anti malware showed no errors either, so im pretty stumped.
Does this sound like a familiar error that one of you maybe have seen before and you might know how to cure it?
Thanks in advance

Options at the bottom..
Private Public Empty TCP
[YES] [YES] [YES] [YES]
Granadas, but the mk1's do look quite similar to a mk3 'tina so i will let you off.
yet the inertia of the other 3 cylinders in their cycle will keep things moving.
Yeah thats not bad, from just before hardcore got 'happy' if you know what i mean, around about the time where the scene started splitting, jungle techno and hardcore were sorta starting to go there own ways, still a good choon tho.
Yeah, thats the original hardcore mix, the one on the set i posted is listed as vinylgroover - space oddyssey, buts it uses the same samples so near enough lol
:doh:
Anyway, funnehz!

i concur, that'd explain why pics are all side by side and shizzle like that, TVE you boob lol
Is it the 'contains less than 10% ethanol' sticker below each pump, which suggests they are all the same, im guessing here.
For me, stuff like these win.
my mate had a '76 one exactly the same as this, apart from his was a 2l pinto, and not cossie powered, his also had st24 mondeo wheels on, same colour tho, what a nice blue, looked lush. :lovies:

Beemers are alright, but once you've seen one square boxy looking car slammed to the weeds on BBS rims that are too wide for it and with terrible camber you've seen em all.
The very first event i ever went to, ill never forget it, it got bad press about bits being closed off coz they got flooded, the technodrome was shut as well, plus there were many technical glitches too, but it was still the best night of my life, especially this set.....

It did look fairly good...
But then there was a big bang from the gearbox area and then it didnt move anymore, so now its hiding its sad and broken self under a tarp, and a vauxhall has stolen its alloy wheels...

Treat every day as if it were the day when the VWS gets released, because, one day my friends, you will be right.
Really?
my sarcasm detector may be broken though, please bear with me
