I just bought this computer and I'm having alot of problems with it. It usually freezes when it is installing something, or loading up something. A good example of where it freezes, 9/10 times, is on a game called half-life (the 1st one) when i connect to a server everything seems to load up fine except for the last part just after it precaches everything and then boom, freezes right on the last step "parsing game info". it also freezes on this game once i exit. soon as i close it Boom, freeze. When it freezes there is absolutely no response from anthing. Everything locks up, ctrl+alt+del will not work. when this computer freezes it's like, All you can do is press the reset button. Another instance where it froze lots was when installing windows SP2 and installing windows itself. I thought this problem might of been attributed to my OS because when i first tried installing windows XP Professional my 200GB HDD read only as 131GB. I'm told this problem is due to my OS being too outdated and my OS is one of the earliest versions of windows XP prof. I managed to fix that problem. I thoguht if i got the SP2 it might fix the problem but it didn't.
