Question about 'Top reasons for random, fatal crashes in Windows XP and Windows 2000'

I posted a problem yesterday but I thought I should give a little more detail about my setup so here goes: I have a P4 2.4G PC running Windows 2000 SP4 with an Albatron mobo, 1G ram, 1-120G Hard disc and 1 3G hard disc. , Radeon 9200 vid card, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum and a 425W power supply The PC crashes and restarts itself after simple Windows Explorer functions such as renaming a folder or deleting a file. I reformatted the hard drives so that they were both NTFS but that did not stop the problem. A have also uninstalled all the peripherals one at a time in hopes of isolating the problem, to no avail. I have not yet tested the ram but will do so soon. Can anyone give some insight to this problem? Thank you very much.

When you get past the ram, then the motherboard is suspect. You have some heavy duty specs there. The Albatron board may not live up to the rest.
