random system hangs or sudden reboots without any STOP errors can be caused by a bad video driver
OR video hardware acceleration settings set too high ...
Overclocking can cause these problems as well..
if your not overclocking...

try turning down the Hardware Acceleration settings in the Display Properties or replacing the video drivers ...

what does this mean...?????

well i dont know what people here call it, but basically, i ran my windows xp disk from startup, formatted it, and re-installed xp, so all my things are deleted.

also, can you explain how to turn down my acceleration or whatever.


EDIT: Oh nevermind, i found the acceleration thing, i turned it down to none, and it said only use it if your computer stops responding.

so yeah, thats basically wot comp is doing, not responding

any help?

burn the memtest.iso to cd ..
set your computer to boot from the cd drive first...
put the memtest cd in your cd drive...
reboot
memtest will run until you press the ESC key...
let it run for at least 2 hours...if you get any errors during that run ...the ram will have to be replaced
