Hi All

Hope someone can help.

I have a Medion computer (purchased from Aldi 2 years ago) but I can't remember the full spec at the moment as I am at work.

The problem I am having is when using the computer at completly random times the whole screen freezes even the mouse pointer and the time.

I then have to reboot as nothing at all responds. When I have restart the computer my TFT monitor stays black and then says No Signal and switches itself off. This can go on for 15mins to all day. It is very frustrating. I have made sure all connections are secure.

Has anyone come across this problem before and can advise a course of action.

Once I go home and if my computer works I will post the full spec etc if required.

Many thanks in advance

Sounds like hardware. A heat problem and or Power Supply would be my first suspects.

Have you opened and cleaned the computer? Checked all the fans?

You can get an inexpensive PSU Tester such as these:

Are you using XP? If so:

Look in your Event viewer: rt. click My Computer then click Manage then Event Viewer.
Or: Administrative Tools/Event Viewer or Start/Run/ eventvwr
Open the system as well as the application tabs & look for red X errors. Click error line for details.
Post back the source & event id & Description especially of errors that seem to coincide with this issue.
Also check the Information lines that might coincide with this issue.
