Not Responding.
Hello,
plese can anybody help me, at the end of my tether, i purchased an upgrade from a shop, including Processor, motherboard, graphics card, and Windows 7, existing items one sata hard drive and IDE hard drive, & DVD drive, 3 GB RAM. ( 1GB RAM & 2 GB RAM purchased one month prior to upgrade)
Prior to upgrade the computer was freezing often program would show "not responding". The shop was asked to format hard drive (sata) (which is only six months old) and put windows 7 on the disk. However i have continued to have problems when using programs often showing "not responding" i have taken the PC back to the shop several times and they say it "passes" there "bench" tests, but despite this it continues to freeze.
I have used computer in safe mode, and it doesn't "freeze" but runs slower, i have disconnected DVD drive, Graphics card, IDE hard drive, and it still freezes, i have deleted partition and re-installed Windows 7 and nothing else but still freezes.
Other than throwing PC out the window or hitting it with a sledge hammer is there anything else i can do? Also what "bench" tests would they have done?
your help would be really appreciated :)
