I think I shall have to boot from a live disk soon to work this one out. The whole thing freezes sometimes (just now for example) and absolutely nothing - no key stroke, nothing - does anything. Except pressing the power button. Not ideal.
That sounds annoying, you might want to give memtest86 a go on your hardware and check that all the fans in your computer are spinning and it's not got any vents blocked with dust, especially in warmer weather it could be a hardware fault.

I've got memtest86 on a usb stick now. How do I use it? What's a cycle for example, in this case?
