and oh let us know how it goes with that. I think using tuneUp you should atleast find some relief as there is a feature that allows you to have a certain amount of memory free all the time. Its called memory optimizer from memory.

Just give it a go.

QUOTE(AYHJA @ Jan 8 2007, 08:27 PM) Actually it wouldn't, but it was still pretty funny, lol...

it would on my work computer, because I emulate my desktop through remote profiles on the network.

and i was (and am) still occasionally wishing I could.

seriously, they should let me back everything up, and let me trash this thing to get over this audit I am "handling"

We has a position that has turned over five times in the last year, and now I get to handle the audit.

the magick word is FORMAT. trust me.

Remote desktop emulation is one thing, having a computer eat itself is another thing...No OS I've ever encountered would allow this to happen, and especially not windows...You can't even run a full checkdisk w/the OS loaded, let alone a format command...No system marked drive would let that happen...

But K, if you haven't, I'd definitely format it myself to be on the safe side...

Quite simply, its easy as pie...All you need is your OS CD, boot from it, and literally its a couple of clicks...

You could check what the last thing executed is before a freeze:

My Computer -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer

Check under Application and System look for the last few entries just before it froze. That's usually the last entries before "Uniprocessor or Multiprocessor is Free" event on your system log
