I hate to admit it, but I don't know the answer to my question.
What can be done to diagnose failing hardware in a computer. Is there any software you can use to diagnose? Do I need to take it into a shop?
Here is my specific problem... My computer is about 4.5 years old. It periodically freezes and periodically just plain crashes. I highly doubt its software. I'm just running the same old software that I have been for years. Even did a fresh install of the OS and everything not too long ago, that didn't help a thing.
I'd like to save as much as I can for a media server. It'd be great if I only had to replace one piece of hardware.
Any advice would be appreciated.
