I have a Compaq Presario 700 that is about to go in the bin unless someone can help.
It has always been a bit slow and freezes occasionally but lately the problem has got so bad that it freezes on start up most times.
If it does start it soon freezes when I try to do anything on it that needs more than the bare minimum processing power.
I have tried:
*the obvious virus & adware checks
*restoring to factory settings
*updating every driver I can
*XP service pack 2
*doubling the RAM (everything is much faster but the freezing problem remains)
I searched the internet for information and from what I gather the Presario 700 has a basic design fault which makes this prone to happen.
If anyone has any ideas of things I can try please post them before I start using the thing as a square frisbee!! !
have you tried underclocking it?
