- All Programs Suddenly has to close
- Posted by noel262 on February 28th, 2006
Can anyone help?
I am running on an AMD Duron 6hundredsomething MHZ.
256 MEG of Memory.
Every now and then my programs close because they encountered a technical
problem E.G.(adobe acrobat, Internet Explora, etc)
Not all programs close at the same time.
Could it be a harddrive problem?
Thanks in Advance!

(Backup your important stuff first!)
Could be faulty RAM or just mis-seated RAM or even a bad power supply or
defective motherboard. Could even be improper cooling, dirty fans, etc.

Could be that your applications (not just Windows - but inclusive) need
updates - check for them.
Could be spyware/adware - scan for and clean upi your machine.

Could also be just that 256Mb of RAM - that's really not enough for XP to run
properly (or fast).
