I've just installed some new memory after finding errors on my old stick and I kept getting blue screens. Now i'm still getting these stupid BSOD's FFS:

win32k.sys
usb.sys and
kmixer.sys

Can you load XP

Can you load XP

[mozzer11]

Yes, the BSOD shows up at random times.

To check for a couple of things, click start, all programmes, accessories, system tools to run disc clean up, then from system tools, run disc defragmenter.

Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter, you need the XP CD and get a blue bar, after the bar goes, reboot.

Click start then run, type chkdsk /f /r then press enter, type Y to confirm for next boot, press enter then reboot.

This will take an hour, it will appear to load normally then either the monitor will show progress or the screen will go blank, do not disturb this.

When it gets to the desktop, the system files and the hard drive will be as they should

Thanks i'll try that

[mozzer11]

Ok, done that

I'm still getting the USBPORT.SYS error
I've noticed it usually happens when I try to start playing a game but it's not just then.

Ok, i'll see if I can get through all that without BSOD

Yes, it has security updates and improvements to USB

OH FFS!
After waiting for SP2 to download for ages it says "The process terminated unexpectedly"
