Why have you had to reformat so many times? Perhaps that's a sign that you're doing something wrong.

That may well be the case here, but you haven't provided any information that might point to a cause. What were you trying to do immediately before the problem started? Any error messages? Any information available from Event Viewer?

..... thanx for the quick reply... i think it all started when i had a
game on my comp that seem to cause a physical dump when shutting the
game down.... i then proced to install AC-97 sound thingy to fix the
problem...which it did but im thinking this is when the freezes
began..... so i have reformatted the computer and installed XP pro
which i have done sveral times in the past and am quite confident it
was all done properly...and got all the latest drivers for everything
but still seems to freeze.... i havent had the computer to stay on long
enough for the event viewer to run yet......
