Default Re: Lock ups??

It could be a heat issue. If it has been in use for a while, dust build up could be causing components to overheat and cause a lock up or shut down. I just went through this with my fathers desktop. I had to open it up and use the air compressor to blow out all the heat sinks. I even went ahead and put new thermal compound on the CPU. This cured all his lockup and shut down issues.
