Hey , I've been doing some experiments with my computer because it sometimes crashed. I scanned it with memtest but they are error-free.
I defragmented, downloaded the latest video drivers, virus-scans, used some maintenance programs etc...
And it still crashed(not often).
Well, today I made a a simple test.
1.Turn on the computer, open BIOS, let it warm a at about 30 degrees C.
2.Turn on the computer, don't open BIOS for warming.
I repeated this several times. I did this when it was cold in my room, because it's usually cold in my room when I begin my PC activity.
So what are the results of these tests ?
When I applied 1, it never crashed.
When I applied 2, it always crashed.
So this is kinda weird...
Hey, I got GMOD at last !!! Here's a pic of what I made using wiremod( I modified an airboat)
When you enter the airboat, the lights go on, and if you right-click a police siren can be heared and a wire-made police lights can be seen.

I used to have this problem all the time in the winter, when it would be about 40-50 degrees in my basement, so i created a warmup program on a floppy that i would use when I boot up my computers for the day in the morning.
I don't have the problem anymore because we have better heating.
And nice Gmod creation by the way.
As to the particulars of making it, I don't remember, it was years ago.
EDIT: I hate winter. When I get up I only have half an hour, then I have to do a virus scan so hammer does'nt crash the computer... Wish I had a floppy with a warm-up batch on it.
