The problem appears to be with the graphics card - I've tried a swap. I guess I'll have it exchanged.

Do you run ZoneAlarm 3.1, possibly? I had some problems on 2K with it and upgraded and those problems have been reduced. What about updates, have you gotten all patches that might increase stabability? Particularly XP SP1.

Yeah... I'll try that and the network card as well. Now that I think of it, I was having some driver problems with that at the start too, but I updated and those stopped.

PS, zollet: I tried sending you a PM, but I get a "user's inbox is full" message.

If you can, borrow a memory block as well so that you can try it with a working block.

I'm pretty sure it ain't the cdrom so I guess I'll try another graphics card... should be able to borrow one from someone for a day.

Thanks for the reply.

From my experience it could be any piece of hardware, but mainly your graphic card or memory. I suggest you again update all your drivers (graphic, network, sound, etc) and also update WindowsXP. If it still doesn't help, you could do a search for error. For example, disconnect the CD-ROM and use the computer for a while without it, if that didn't help, try another graphic card (if you have another one available) and so on.
