hello,
I have an old desktop PC that is running windows 7 in my garage that is hooked up to a 32" LED on the wall above my workbench. it has been running great for about a year, but now it starts up and freezes up on the windows logo screen. i reset all the bios to default. I have windows xp loaded on it also and it will actually load, but freeze shortly after i do anything with it. so for those of you who have garage/shop computers, or any computer guys out there. any ideas? it works great in the bios menue and startup menues, but will not go much farther once i pick a OS to start up. i really dont want to scrap it since i have a decent vid card with HDMI out and it was working great for basic internet and music.
I went through it the other night and blew out all the dust, and spiders....some still alive, and reseated everything. it is still freezing up at the same point on the windows 7 side, and is freezing after a while in the XP side.
I do have an option to get a old E machine PC for free, it probably has and old pentium 4 or some thing in it. it is running XP now. do you think i could run windows 7 in it, and have a graphics card that has HDMI out and can run a usb wireless adapter? thanks
