RE: PC Cooking? (Almost OT?)

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks for every ones pointers. Turned out to be faulty memory :-(
Just for interests sake (Probably old news to you PC guru's) I was
recommended to use http://www.crucial.com/uk/ for my
memory. Seemed like
great pricing, free delivery and arrived next day! Well I was impressed :-)

Cheers

Rob

P.S. I wonder if getting an successful RMA from Insight.com on my dead
memory sticks will be as simple :-(

That's V interesting Rob. The original card was indeed a NVidia and I had
the Nview software installed and enabled. As part of my debugging I
installed a bog standard 32mb ATI card and the latest drivers but the
problem remained. I wonder if the instability remains? Looks like a re-load
of XP may be on the cards?

I now have a new Mobo and Memory as well so I can further debug.

Hohum, don't those Dell adverts now look so appealing!

Cheers

Rob

My money is on either a problem with memory, or a device driver - what
Video card and driver is it using?  I had something similar with an
NVidia card, using their NView multiple desktop feature.  Disabling
that resulted in a much more stable machine.  Try installing the
latest certified drivers for your hardware.
