Locking up

I just aguired my old computer from work. It has 128 ram
and is 1ghz. Every since hooking it up at home I, it is
always locking up. I have an hp1210 all in one. And a
compag V90 monitor. (different monitor than I had at work.
I have unistalled the drivers for both and let the
computer reistall and still having this problem. Help!

You need to determine whether its a heat/hardware issue rather than a WinMe
issue. If heat related, then the inside of the box may need a good clearout.
(A lot of dust gets sucked into box due to the fan(s) and can reduce the
cooling efficiency)

Boot using your Windows Startup (floppy) Disk and select the DOS Help page
option. Leave it running for several hours, scrolling up and down the pages
every so often and see if it still locks-up (hangs).

If so, then it's a problem with your PC and not with WinMe.

If not, then boot into Safe Mode (F8 or Ctrl keys at boot-up) and leave it
running in that mode for a few hours and see if it hangs. If so, you may
need to disconnect external items of hardware to see if you can isolate it.
