Hi all.
I'm French so please excuse my possible mistakes.
From time to time (it occurred also in Win2k) my computer under WinXP freezes or even reboots automatically. That's the first problem.
The worst is that when I reboot, I see weird letters in the BIOS : all the letters in the BIOS during boot seem to have been mixed. I give you an example : "Tµpe Fy to entur cqnfigzratiok men8"
I thought first that my video card (a GeForce 256 with the latest NVidia drivers) was overheating, so I bought a new cooler but it happens again
What could be the problem ? Overheating of the CPU ? Problem with my RAM ?
I'll add that I didn't change anything in my hardware configuration when the problem started.
Any idea ? Thanks.
