My computer just randomly crashed today. why lol. i has happened about twice in the last 2 weeks. what could be causing this?

You need to post a lot more than that in order to troubleshoot. Error messages, other symptoms, what you were doing at the time, what kind of computer you have, etc.

And...what were you doing before it crashed?

HELP_ME · 09-28-2006, 08:51 PM

the only thing i was doing was on this forum. there were no messages or anything.

My guess and it's just a guess is you are having a memory problem.

SirKenin · 09-28-2006, 09:12 PM

It could be anything. I dare not even hazard a guess. Although, faulty power would certainly cause that problem. I won't even diagnose a client's machine with something happening that infrequently. It's near impossible to track it down on the bench, because it is near impossible to make the problem repeat itself at will.
