Freezing problem

After working for about 5 or 6 hours on my Pentium 2, it freezes dead unexpectedly. When I reboot, it happens again at any moment, even sometimes when scandisk is still running. (I'm running Windows ME, but for 2 years I haven't experienced such problems.) Can anybody help?

If you've been running Your current setup for 2 years, I would suggest reformating. That usually solves most operating system problems such as constant freezing, blue screens, etc...

Also, check for a dead fan.

windows ME is harsh

i had it once, and one day it just decided to die.........was not a fun time getting my data back

Thanks Josh, it was indeed a dead fan!
I sure hope the CPU wasn't damaged, although everything seems to work well now.

Glad to help.
