Current desktop pc is getting on a bit. I built it with components bought from Aria.co.uk.
Have had to replace hard disc a few years ago, power supply last year and have upped RAM to 8GB. Processor is an AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 5600+ 2.9GHz. Hard disc is 500GB of which I use approx 150GB. I also run 2 monitors.
I have a feeling that it's on its way out. Frequently one of the monitors fails to start and only rebooting kicks it into life. Recently the PC is freezing occasionally through the boot process. This evening for example, on first start up only one monitor started. Then on rebooting it froze completely 2 times before starting normally.
I'm out of touch with current specifications so looking for pointers to a reasonably priced machine.
The most taxing use I give it is occasional use of a CAD type program which can take over a minute to load/open a drawing.
