The motherboard on my computer failed and I replaced it with an identical
one and although the Windows loaded and worked ok it froze a couple of times
a day and the only option was to use the restart button (Ctrl+Alt+Del did
not work either). After about a week the OS refused to load with the
message "Cannot find the following file or the file is corrupt:
\Windows\System32\Config\System". At this point I decided that the
installation damaged and did a clean install of XP Pro.
Unfortunately, on the very first day of use (today) Windows froze and it
looks like I am back to where I was.
What could be causing these freeze ups - some hardware component? I am
getting rather desperate for a stable machine and would appreciate any help.
