I have been dealing with this exact problem for just over a month now. I am running
xppro on a 2.6g 512pc2100 w/ 400 watt power supply. I maintain a steady temperature
of 27 c which is 80.6 f apparently.
This is the same power supply that i was using on a p4 1.7 with NO problems at all.
I am not eliminating it as the cause, but am doubting it. The lockups are time so
randomly, sometimes before desktop even loads up, that im also doubting overheating
is a problem either. I have a very well ventilated case anyway. The one thing I have
not been able to verify ist that my memory isnt the cause. It is far from being name
brand memory and its really the only thing left besides a faulty mb/cpu that i havnt
tried. Someone else suggested testing your memory, im inclined to agree.
