Hey guys, My problem is, About a week ago my computer started locking up when i was playing a computer game (world of warcraft) and i thought it may be over-heating issue? No, I put a fan near the computer and still no results. I have swapped video cards, and taken out sticks of memory. Nothing has changed. I have played around with the virtual memory, No difference. As days has passed it now locks-up for consistant even if im not on the game, I am lucky to be able to post this!. Some times i cant even log into my windows xp account before it locks up, Any ideas?

Thanks alot.

Defragment your harddrive, delete your temporary internet files, and check for spyware. Basic computer stuff. Also, try a restart.

If you can boot in Safe Mode but you get Blue Screen (BSOD) in Normal Mode, give a try to this utility.
BSRecover will try to make your system boot in Normal Mode with different recovery techniques. With BSRecover you have another chance of avoiding the BSOD! NT/2K/XP/2003/Vista.
