LOL. If I knew the answer to that, every software and hardware developer in the world would be trying to employ me.
There are so many variables involved. The most common one is that two pieces of software sometimes try to access the same piece of hardware at the same time. (Very simplified terms here)
The hardware has a hard time trying to decipher which software to give priority to and (ahem) 'fritzes' out.
I'm not going to rule out Norton AntiVirus, as it could be any piece of software, but Norton can take up a lot of resources. Personally, I've never had a problem with it, but Norton Utilities on the other hand...DAMN!!! talk about software that can royally screw up you system. |

firstly I'd like to thak EVERYONE for their time and effort helping me.
secondly I have just leant that all Pentium 4 computers
need dual fans (1 on the CPU & 1 on the front of the case) & my computer
only has the one (on the CPU). This is most certainly the problem don't you
think?

Yes, that sure could be the problem... but I've assembled lots of P4 comuters and they doesen't necesarely need extra fans...
At least I don't think so.

Have you experienced the same problem while booting up even just once?
It think it is the power supply. |
