Dell desktop 330 works 4 a short time and freezes
I have a Dell optiplex 330 desktop PC which will boot alright, the
windows desktop with the (i'm using Win XP )icons will show but just for about 40 seconds and it freeze for about 10 seconds and everything will go off. just at about the time that it will go off the processor fan will run at a very high speed. when it goes of like this, the power light will change from green to amber and there will be some weak cracking sound (presumably trying to give a beep) from the buzzer on the mother board. At this stage powering it up again will not work unless it is unplugged from the mains for about 20 minutes and it will repeat the above problem. I disconnected the hard drive just in case its a virus but the same thing happened and even in setup mode. please help |
