Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / February 2006All Programs Suddenly has to close
Can anyone help? I am running on an AMD Duron 6hundredsomething MHZ. 256 MEG of Memory. Every now and then my programs close because they encountered a technical problem E.G.(adobe acrobat, Internet Explora, etc) Not all programs close at the same time. Could it be a harddrive problem? Thanks in Advance! > Can anyone help? > I am running on an AMD Duron 6hundredsomething MHZ.

Ran a full CHKDSK and/or downloaded the utility from the hard drive manufacturer to test it? (Backup your important stuff first!) Could be faulty RAM or just mis-seated RAM or even a bad power supply or defective motherboard. Could even be improper cooling, dirty fans, etc.  SignatureShenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html noel262 wrote: > Can anyone help? > I am running on an AMD Duron 6hundredsomething MHZ.

Could be that your applications (not just Windows - but inclusive) need updates - check for them. Could be spyware/adware - scan for and clean upi your machine.
