    Hi All..
    I have a new Laptop Amilo pro v2085.. Its about 6 mths old and ever since i got it it freezes after one hour of work and i have to shut it down by holding down power button... I rang F/SIEMENS Helpdesk and they toleme to try it in Safe mode.. I did and all was ok for 2 hrs.. They said then tha it was a software problem.. I have done a/virus scan, spyware scans 3 (spybot,ewido,adaware..) What else should i doo.. Running xp pro sp2, 512 ram, Have done all updates and wondering what can i do now... If i do a system restore will this help...:confused::confused:

    Try running memtest. Could be an overheating problem, is the laptop running very hot?

    Well System Restore will just roll your system back to a certain time and date but since it has been happening since you got it, that probably won't help. Is there a certain program you are running when it freezes or something different all the time?

    hi,
    An educated guess would say that your processor is faulty.......
    BTW. when it freezes, does it make a noise?

    Just where exactly were you educated? I seriously doubt it is the processor.

    Especially since it doesn't happen in Safe Mode.

    mickymc - it sounds like some kind of software conflicts. Are there a lot of programs in the System Tray (bottom-right of the screen)? Do you have a load of programs running at start up (check msconfig)? Do you have any DVD/CD writer software running in the system tray?

    Can you open up Task Manager (control-alt-delete)? See if one program is hogging the CPU @ 100%.

    Thanks For The reply tom dunne...

    no not many progs running in sys tray..
    no dvd writer software eitherrunning there

    Can you open up Task Manager (control-alt-delete)? See if one program is hogging the CPU @ 100%.
    When i do this there is not much difference between my other Laptop..

    I think that i will just doo a full reinstall of operating system to see if that will solve it...:confused:
