[RESOLVED] Computer Locked Up!

[momstheword468]

Please help! I'm ready to take a sledge hammer to my computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a Pentium III 800mhz witha 28.3g hard drive. What happens is my computer is continually locking up. Sometimes ctrl-alt-del works and it tells me that the program I am working on is 'not responding', when I do an end task I usually get a screen on the computer that says my explorer is not working. At this point I have to reset the computer because nothing works. There are times that I can't even get ctrl-alt-delete to work and I have to completely reset the computer.
I have tried using Dr. Watson and I get this as the result:

If the Taskbar is behaving strangely, try exiting Multimedia background task support module.

Module Name: mmtask.tsk
Description: Multimedia background task support module
Version: 4.90.3000
Product: Microsoft Windows
Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation

I went into system information and found this:
Under components these are the problem devices
IRQ Holder for PCI Steering PCI\IRQHOLDER\IRQ0B 10
IRQ Holder for PCI Steering PCI\IRQHOLDER\IRQ0A 10
IRQ Holder for PCI Steering PCI\IRQHOLDER\IRQ09 10
IRQ Holder for PCI Steering PCI\IRQHOLDER\IRQ05 10

I am also having a problem with the cursor. It shows the arrow but the hour glass is continually flickering on and off, as if the computer is trying to find something.

I have done scan disks and it has corrected errors and then run a defrag. Two days later it starts all over again and I run scan disk again and there are more errors.

Just two weeks ago I had to replace my 2 year old hard drive because it died on me.

What is wrong????????? I am at a loss!!!!!!!!!
Hope I have given you enough info about comp specs, can't remember where to look for the whole list of system specs.

Thankyou
Suzanne

I wonder if this would do better over in the hardware forum?

How much memory do you have in your system? What OS are you using?

[momstheword468]

I am using Windows Millenium and I have 240 mb ram

Have you installed any new hardware recently? Software? Sorry for all the questions

[momstheword468]

I have resubmitted in General Hardware. Thought I had the first time I guess I clicked on the wrong General. Sorry
