    Sounds like you're running XP. Have you tried a repair install of XP?

    Sorry yes iam running windows xp service pack 1.I reformatted my hard drive so yes I have tried that(obviously)I tried upgrading to serv. pack 2 and that makes the situation worse.I just ordered more ram 512 for a total of 768.I have been reviewing my stop error,comparing it to the windows stop errors,i will post it and maybe you can help me with that,I got allot of different meanings out of it ,they all kind of point to bad ram.when i get the ram (512)im pulling both sticks i have in there now (128)&(256)and just running it on the one stick(512).here is my stop error:
    *** Stop:0X00000050(0XFB8F6EBB,0X00000001,0XBF950797,0 X00000000

    Sorry no one else has been by. I'm not yet proficient in XP so I thought I'd ask some preliminary information so the XP heavyweights in this forum may have something more to work with.

    Here is a LINK which may assist you.

    As well, there is a Microsoft Crash Support service online.
