I had many weeks of trouble with XP, startup problems with page faults and other
blue screen of death message.
I took out one of the two 256mb DDR modules and problem went, seems like they were
running at slightly different speeds, even though they were supposed to be the same.
I have stuck a single 512mb stick in now and all my problems have gone.
