Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board: Slingers - Viewing Profile - Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board

Recently we purchased some computer components for my Father's computer, as his last one had seemingly died. Whilst all this is well and good, once assembled we noticed some oddities.

The computer would randomly lock-up, usually during tasks such as installing and uninstalling, although sometimes it would just lock-up whilst idle.

Once locked-up, the computer would not respond at all, no input responses at all and a hard reset is required, usually this temporarily cures the problem until it happens again and needs another reset.

We thought it may be the power supply, however we're not too sure. Anyone any ideas?

Components:

Intel D101GGC Motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 Processor
1GB RAM
80GB Western Digital SATA HDD

I am having problems running and installing the codec on x64 Vista. I have tried installing the .inf file which it does so but the videos will not play on my system. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful.

Some of you may remember I ran an Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog website a while back; unfortunately the website is now offline because I no longer have the time to update it. I have decided to feature some content here which I hope you will all find very interesting. In June '09, I was sent twelve script files by Jeffrey Scott (http://www.jeffreyscott.tv/) who was a writer on the show and subsequently featured on the site. I have now attached them here for you to read, they require some style sheets but I'm not sure how to fix the layouts of them.

All files here are presented in their original .DOC file format.

Hello everybody.

I present to you a present that I hope will present you well. In all seriousness folks, I made this for each and every one of you and I really do hope you all like it. It is a celebratory video of Sonic Retro, and it's achievements so far in the hacking community and beyond.

Long live Sonic Retro, second only to Sega.

Jokes aside, whilst playing Sonic Adventure earlier tonight, the game has been acting rather old; stop at various cutscenes requiring me to power off the console and powering it on again. I assume this is a disc read problem, and if so is there a way to clean it?
