New PC Required?

382 Posts

in Techie Stuff
Hello,
I'm currently using a HP Z210 Tower Workstation which I bought second hand about 5 years ago.
I don't really use the PC for storage, instead use a memory stick and an external drive to keep all my info on, but I very often get a message saying " unresponsive" and the PC just hangs there until I go to problem manager, when it generally clears.
I've run cleaning programs and all seems well.
I'm thinking that perhaps I need a new machine, has to be a tower (that's what I've always used in work and at home and want another tower).
I don't do gaming etc, just using memory devices to store info.
Can any one please point me to a low cost new Tower PC which will satisfy my requirements?

The system is Windows 10
Anyway that is CPU from 2011. Probably time for new.
What is your budget?
Assuming the disk connections are SATA.
Not sure if I understand you "using memory devices to store info". You mean USB sticks? What's wrong with hard drives (traditional OR SSD).
A failing memory stick or drive can cause those symptoms.
Suggest you try using with no other drives connected, before a reinstall, or new PC purchase
