I had a PC that would randomly die during "busy" times -- ripping too much, too much analysis with Picard, or whatever. It would do a hard crash: no warning, needed a power cycle to restart.
I went into the BIOS, hit "set defaults" and it hasn't crashed since. God knows what the local dealer did to "adjust" the machine to be faster, but I'll take stable over fast any day. (To be fair: it may have not been the local shop: it did take 2 years before it started misbehaving so much, so perhaps cosmic rays messed with the CMOS settings, but I figure the motherboard maker knows more about what timings and such are proper.) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24677 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
