Could be overheating. That's what it sounds like to me.

Diffentaly check your fans. If they all work. Your power source could be an issue, check that last. Make sure that you enough memory and hard drive space. Also, a long shot but un-install your last program you put on it then re-install it.

Windows ME really sucks the big one dude! I can't wait for XP to come out. Mmmmm... Stable NT Kernel! Congress should shut the F up and not tool around with Microsoft on the whole software bundling issue. I don't know about you but, "More Stuff More Gooder" Good luck with you Problem dude I can relate even though My shit hasn't gotten that bad.

    Um don't you know that a monopoly is a very bad thing. Bundling eliminates competition. No competition=a shittier product in the end. Imagine if netscape and explorer were neck and neck in the browser war. We would have a much better browser. I don't know about XP. It seems a bit shady to me. 2000 has support for most games and is a lot more stable but of course Linux is the best;).

    It sounds like the best solution is to take ME off the Computer.

    I don't think MS has posted a fix for memory leak yet...so the best advice I can give is to go back to 98 or up to 2000 or give linux a shot (I recommend mandrake)

    As for the monopoly...

    They were, MS won because they had the better browser. Have you ever used Netscape 6.0...neither have I, never could get the fucker to install right. What Microsoft does is that they bundle enough to whet your appetite. Look at WMP, it will encode WMA at over 128 kbps, but MP3's at 64. MS knows MP3 is much more popular, so they give it sub-standard acknowledgement and force the people to go to musicmatch for a good encoder. If people want a kick ass encoder, they pay for it (or download the crack). Windows Movie Maker sucks compared to Pinnacle.

    I'm not saying what MS is doing is right, this is just their point of view.

    The new version of Netscape 6 fixes that problem. I will admit IE 5.5 was better than Netscape 6 but 4.7 was real good in my opinion compared to IE. Of course there is also Opera which kicks ass in my opinion.

    And I recommend Mandrake too. The newest version is 8. Also whatever you do if you are a Linux newbie DON'T get Debian. You will confused like never before if you aren't that familiar with Linux.

    Sure there's a way to fix it...
    1. Format your hard drive.
    2. Install Windows 2000.
    3. Be a happy camper.

    Windows 2000 is honestly the most stable OS I've ever seen from Microsoft. Millennium blows frickin' goats. Wait, the entire 9x series blows goats. Ever try to use it on a laptop? On that laptop, ever try to take out one PCMCIA card and put another in? Not gonna happen, cause your computer locks.

    Fuck 9x, use 2000. And DEFINITELY FUCK XP. I've heard that right off the bat, XP will be 25% SLOWER than 2000. Not only that, but Microsoft is making it a bitch to pirate XP, so I say fuck 'em all.

    As for Bartman - if you're overclocking, turn that off immediately.

    Does the computer work correctly RIGHT when you reboot or do you have to leave it off for a while, then it works? If you have to leave it off, you do have a heat problem, no question.

    98 doesn't have the memory leak problem that ME has - and unless you're running tons of memory-chomping programs, there's no way you could crash even 98 in 20 minutes.

    I think that even though you don't think it is, it's probably heat.

    Trust the guy who has run a computer without a CPU fan just to see what it would do.

    I didn't hear about XP being 25% slower than 2000 but I did hear about the Piracy thing and that was reason enough for me not to get it and to add this make the decison no problem.

    Oh and ftl I'm thinking about eliminating ME and just having a 2000/Linux box. If I did this would I be able not to run any apps/games?

    I can run most Windows-based games fine.... some bitch about not being able to run on NT but just look for a patch or buy (or pirate) a new version/sequel.

    DOS games however.... yuck. Best bet would be to get a Win98 boot disk (or anything... 98, 95, DOS 6.22), get the right drivers (sound, mouse, whatever), and run it that way. It sometimes gets bitchy with legacy junk.

    I suggest hitting it with a sledgehammer a couple times. It will eventually learn who's boss and work.

    The oldest game I want to play is Half-Life so I guess it's bye-bye to 9x. I don't think I'll ever miss it.
