Bought this computer from BrianS. Compaq 1.8 pentium and 384mb memory windows xp fresh install I believe. John R this computer is similar to the one I bought off you that works on the other machine.

Thing locked up the other day and gave me a weird error which I don't remember now. I was in the middle of running the cnc program I use and it quit. Then it started telling me there were problems with the windows page file and corrupt files on the hard drive, or that settings could not be saved because there was a problem with a file and windows needed to reboot or it rebooted on it's own.

I shut the page file thing off and it seems to have helped but what is now happening is that the machine will stop in the middle of a cut, the screen says it's on a line in the middle of the program, the timer still runs on the screen, the hard drive light is on and the machine stays in that one place then on it's own starts right back up where it left off SOMETIMES (sometimes it just stays there forever) and it will finish the program but only after it sits for a short time.

Not enough memory? Hard drive?

Sledgehammer?
