My computer's been locking up on me for about a week now and it's
driving me NUTS! Every once in a while, it will just lock up and say
Divide overflow. I then have to reset (warm reboot doesn't work - I'm
using an IBM compatible by the way). I have one program (TrakBlaster
for my soundblaster) that will lock it up every time - but other
programs that do the same thing don't. If I load up Turbo C, I can
run it all day with no problem, but if I exit it and start running
some other programs the thing freezes. It seems to be based on the
number of different programs executed instead of on a time limit.
Has anyone out there had this problem or is this more likely to be
just a hardware problem? I've tried several shareware virus detectors
but none of them have found anything - of course none of them could
find the test virus signature in the program that came with tbscanx
either. Does anybody want to buy a computer - cheap?
