virtual memory hell
Reply #1 –
What luck ! just today arrived (at the moment i read this thread) an HP Celeron 2.26 with 80 gigs HD. Had the same problems, we tested the HD at other of my pc`s and finally kicked the can. Was a samsung, and was only 1 1/2 years old.....
Maybe you want to try the old trick about setting the virtual memory 2 1/2 times more than the ram installed (ok, i know, with my statement this is not possible, since with XP pro you can only get 4096 mb of Virtual memory, and with the 2 gigs of ram....) Play with the virtual memory size, letting in auto management of established by you (or even, disable it)......
If not, im with the HD replacement....
Mmm, i almost forgot, check if DMA is enabled...
