I appear unable to stop an intermittant system crash
since upgrading to windows XP Home Edition. This is
despite:

replacing motherboard with athlon xp 1800
adding new sparkle nvidia graphics card
rebuilding/reinstalling system

all i have loaded is XP, Norton System Works 2003. My PC
is linked to broadband network.

Can anybody offer any tips on how I can resolve this
issue.

I have checked all obvious drivers

I find that I have acquired an OEM version of XP so can
not use Microsoft free support.

Try looking at your Event log and post what it says. Sometimes it actually helps.

Did the crashes happen right after XP was installed just using the new MB, Video Card, RAM, Processor/fan only?

If not...then add your network card...test some more.
Install Nortons...test some more. Take it step by step till you find the bad guy causing your problems.

IF it does happen early on in the testing try testing the RAM and Video Card first. They seem to caus alot of crashes if they are bad.

Good news and bad news. The support you need is on the
Click to expand...
Microsoft.com\supportXP\knowledgebase.com The problems
you are having almost mirror those I was having and I
blamed XP. It turned out to be a brand new maxtor 80-gig
harddrive that was failing. Failure to boot,corrupted
files, etc. Start over with a reformat and a clean
installation of XP(new). I know it's time consuming but?
