Windows 2000 freezes

[biraju]

Hello Guys,

I have Windows 2000 OS on P IV intel pentium 256 MB RAM. Since 2 days my pc keeps on freezing when I try to open something, sometimes it works properly and then when I try opening windows media player or may be a bigger application it freezes, the mouse stops working, ctrl+alt+del stops working, the only remedy left is to restart the pc.
It happens when I open outlook express for my emails. It also happens when a site suddenly opens in the internet explorer. There is no specific timings of happening, but it freezes when something is triggered and I dont know what.
I am currently in the safe mode with network support and everythings working absolutely fine in the safe mode. I dont seem to find any problem in the safe mode.

Can you please help me as to what should be done to get rid of this freezing problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Have a great day.

Turned out to be video card driver not being capatible with 2K. Updated it and it is fine.

Hope this helps.

Actually I dont think video card was the problem in my case, as my pc was working absolutely fine with the video card I have since a year and after I have formatted my pc, there is no problem at all.

I think it was because of welchia worm.

Am not sure.

thanks

If that did not solve your problems of freezing it may be a intermittent piece of ram. I have had a problem like that before and it was bad RAM. Just a thought that might be useful.
