I have an old eMachine ET1161 desktop back from the Windows Vista days that I'm trying to revive just for fun.
I wiped the HDD and installed a copy of Windows XP, it booted up and ran just fine for a short while until the screen mouse froze and the screen glitched out and I had to force shutdown. I tried a couple more times, same thing. Never runs for more than a few minutes without crashing. I dusted it out just encase, still crashed.
Booted up from UBCD on a USB and ran some tests, the HDD came back fine with HDAT2, the memtests came back fine, and the video stress tests as well. Wiped the drive again, installed Ubuntu, still froze up.
This is the output when the error happens
I know this is long winded and might not be fully clear, but I could use some help on this one. It obviously has to be hardware related but I can't think of what, the MOBO? The CPU? Thank you in advance for any advice!
