computer keeps locking up
I am not sure where to post this because I am not sure what the problem is.
Problem started 2 days ago, I am lucky if I can keep logged on to my computer 5 minutes before it locks up. We have removed most of our downloads and I have tried to fragmentize, but it say there is only 2 0/0 of space and I need 15 0/0.
I have a Dimension 4300S, Pentuim 4 processor with 256 ram
Please advise

It sounds like you hard drive is FULL. To operate Windows, you need 10% of the drive space free (Swap file n such require free space) If you don't have free space for a defrag, then it is very likely you have a drive that is nearing capacity.
Go to system tools & run disk cleanup

it can be from the cpu temp.
check your cpu fan and watch it with
a probe (temp. controler).plantlover61

I can't seem to clear more than 2 0/0 space, I am wondering if I added more RAM would this fix the problem?
