[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 13935, member: 175057"] Hi dragOnfly, I installed XP alongside 98se, so the system is dual boot and XP was a clean install, even though I don't really use 98se anymore. The long burn test on the memory modules (10+ hours) produced no failed tests, so I'm pretty sure that it is not them. Could well be the video drivers, even though they are only a couple of months old, strangely enough I have managed to play Cossacks for several hours with no lockups and that is very video intensive. It'll be interesting to see if installing the VIA 4in1 drivers make any difference as well. I was hoping not to have to carry out any major updates to this system, as the plan was, in the new year to build a new unit and use this one as a web server for my website, but of course, circumstances may dictate otherwise. :) [/QUOTE]
