Hello everyone,

I hope someone can help me with the problem I am having. I have a new Dell computer. I bought it in December of 2001. It is a Dimension 4300. I have had alot of trouble with it lately. It will freeze up if I am playing a game on the internet while I am playing an mp3 or even just surfing the net sometimes. So I decided to troubleshoot the problem and I used the msconfig. I deleted all the cookies and temp files that could have been taking up space. Nothing has worked. My computer loads faster but the freezing continues. The buttons on my screen will gradually black out and the computer will go to a blue system busy screen. Then it has to be restarted manually. This shouldn't be happening because the computer has 1.8GHz processor speed, a pentium 4 processor, 80GB hard drive, and 256MB memory. Could someone suggest what might be wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all.
