Hi...

Got a P4 with VIA motherboard..every once a week or twice my computer just goes to this blue screen saying there is a problem or restarts by itself. I have formatted the disk and installed XP professional again and the problem seems to be there still. So now I know it is not the OS. I checked all my hardware drivers are perfect. And there is no specific operation that leads into this system halt. It is completely random. I checked the CPU temperature is also normal. What is this problem? do I have to change my motherboard for this? i got 256MB DDR memory also so I dont think that is not enough. Any other hardware that can cause this kind of a problem? thanks...

when you get this screen can you tell us exactly what that error message is, that would help us determine what might be causing your problem.
