Need help with 4000 desktop

[Garyed40]

Hi all

I bought a 4000 desktop and it has 20meg ram the 3.0 roms and I installed a 1gig Maxtor hard disk..

everything was fine installed OS 3.1 and even Simcity 2000 but now the system is locking up... No error msg nothing obvious the machine just freezes I reboot and sometimes it freezes at the Rom screen where you see the floppy go into the disk drive. I'm stumped any ideas?

thank you

Hi

The memory is fitted properly I haven't cleaned the contacts on the CPU I'll have to do that. There's no hardware installed in any of the card slots. No over heating.

Hi

I've cleaned all the contacts reseated the CPU card and the ROMS and memory still the machine freezes. after rebooting it freezes at the startup screen. If I turn it off for a while it boots ok and runs for about 2 minutes then freezes

Don't know what to do now

Thank you all

I checked everything you suggested and it looks like the ROM's are just about shot. Which is why the system locks up I'll be trolling Ebay to find some newer ones
