I know that this is not a normal forum question but without my computer I can't get on the site - other than accessing it at work.

My problem is this - I have a Dell Dimension 2350 originally with 256 RAM and 40 Gig hard drive. I am using Windows 2000 XP. About a fortnight ago I replaced the CD burner with a DVD burner and related software. Since then on occasions the computer freezes and I have to turn it off at the power point. Most often this happens when I am trying to use the DVD burner, but not always.

The DVD burner seems to work okay when my kids play games etc but when I try to burn things it freezes. Spoke to the IT guys at work they said to disable certain programs and add extra memory, which I have done, it now has 512 RAM. It still seems to be slow and still freezes occasionally.

Does anyone in the Perth area know someone that might be able to help me without ripping me off. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.
