Right guys please help.
scenario:
My system has been frrezing randomly or more so when several activities are taking place on the system. If USB devices are added, the system freezes pretty quickly. The system would do this in excess of ten times a day.
What I done so far:
Opened the side of the system and stuck a desktop fan inside the case to eliminate overheating.
Result:
The system did not crash or freeze at all under normal use, however I did add two usb devices to the system and the system ran pretty well for sometime but then decided to freeze. Rebboted the system with the devices added and the system crashed straightaway.
Findings:
The system definately reacted positively to the extra cooling, however loading the system with devices made it instable.
MY question:
What components could be faulty?
What should I do next?
UPDATE:
The system also tends to want to freeze when I run the disk defragment tool.
