Hi, I had a problem with my old PC in that it would repeatedly freeze, ie the screen would stop and it would do nothing until I reset it, so when I had the money and wanting to upgrade anyway I bought a new one.
 
I now have a new PC and have the same problem, it freezes occasionally and last night even reset itself. Also when I try and defrag the main drive it says it cant due to inconsistancies with the file system and to run CHKDSK which I do and that doesnt show any problems. I did have diskeeper installed and that wouldnt run so I removed it.
 
 
The only things I have kept from the old PC are the monitor (changed not long before I got the new one so ruled out as a cause of the problem), The modem a D-Link DSL504T, and the extension cable to the mains outlet. Can anyone suggest some possible reasons for this or maybe something on the new PC that might cause it?
