What video card do you have? It should say either in Device Manager or in Everest...under Display Adapter.

Leave it as is for the moment...
If it hangs on you again, change the initial device to PCI.

In This Reply you said you changed it to AGP. Try setting it to PCI instead.

Just set it to PCI and leave it...if the card is in a PCI slot, that's where it should be.
Did you install anything on the machine, either hardware of software, just prior to the problem showing up?

Yes, I've installed 512MBDDR Ram, Fresh installation of XP and Installed a netgear adapter for wireless internet connection.
so i guess its in there somewhere but I cant seem to figure out what could cause the PC to freeze like that randomly.
Would it make it easier to do this if i gave you my IM contact?

Not really....
Click Start, then Run, type eventvwr.msc and click "Ok".
In the left pane, click on "System". Look for an error in the right pane that correspondes to one of the hangs. If you find any, list a few of them here for me.
