Computer Issue

[vsnfsn]

Lately, I Been Getting This Problem With My Computer. It Starts To Freeze Up Making This Sound. I Don't Know If Whether Its My Cpu Or My Wires. Everyone Once In Awhile It Does That. But Lately, Its Been Acting Up. Does Anyone Know Where I Can Find A Solution To This Problem Without Going To A Store To Let Them Check It Out?
My Computer Is Windows Xp Sp2 Intel(r) Pentium(r) 4 Cpu 2.40ghz 2.39ghz, 1.00gb Of Ram. If You Have Any Way Of Solving This Please Tell Me.

From what you've described, it sounds like it might be your PSU. If it's freezing up and making a noise, I'd guess it could be failing. What sort of sound is it?

Could you please try and give a slightly more detailed description of what is going on doomed suggestion does not seem to work such as what were you doing before it crashed, what exactly happens and how did you fix it to get it working temporarily again.

Could it be a bearing in the HDD? I work with ancient equipment quite a bit and a hard drive going out can be noisy and it can also go slow. If he/she turns off the computer for a while the heated bearing may cool down and be OK for a while.

i think it does the battle neck. try using a 768mb of ram, i've encounter this before with my Pentium 4 when i put a 1GB RAM kingston, it doesn't install windows XP but replacing with the old ram 512 MB it does. try also checking the clock speed of the RAM it might bottleneck
