did anyone come up with an answer to this problem? i'm having exactly the same issue.
just bought a new pc.. amd xp2600+, 512mb, asus A7V8X-MX SE motherboard. i took it
back to the shop and they swapped the motherboard and cpu but i still have the same
issues. they think it's my xp disc but i've tried a few different ones.. all with
the same results.
completely random failures. dozens of dll errors and then the computer just goes
dead. power remains on, no BSOD, just black..
i'm leaning towards it being either faulty memory or some sort of conflict between
the ram and the piece of crap onboard video that uses 64mb of system memory instead
of having memory of its own.
can someone else post their machine specs to see if there's something in common?
