XP Pro freezes

I first installed XP Pro, RC1. I experienced lock ups when running Norton AV, Norton Speed Disk, XPs CD burning SW, and other processor intensive apps. The machine would lock up hard. Only the reset button would work. I am aware that previous versions of Norton did not run on XP. I am running Norton 2002, the lastest version that is designed to run on XP. It seems to lock up during CPU itensive tasks, Sometimes it would just lock up for the hell of it. I have reinstalled several times, it would also lock up during the install. Many times it would get to 4 minutes remaining and lock up. That is EXTREMELY frustrating. I am experiencing the same problem with the official release version of XP. Not as frequent, but it still locks up. Any suggestions, please. I have installed the latest XP compatible hardware drivers and it still freezes. Stan
