Dear All,

I also have an XP system that randonly blue screens, the system was built by myself 
from brand new XP and AMD comlpiant bits.
340 watt PSU
2 * 256mb PC2700 DDR PC333 Memory
Gigabyte Motherboard  (GA7VX-P KT400)
AMD 2400 XP Processor
8x AGP Video Card MSI/FX5200TDR/128MB
CPU Temp 50's - System Temp 30's


I noticed the comment on the Gigabyte board, I also have one of these

Im now wondering if it is a ram issue or a bust motherboard?

Regards

Stressed Mike ...
