Hey,

I have had problems with my XP machine for sometime now, after about 2 hours of being logged on, the machine just complely locks up the mouse just locks up and i just have to reboot. I have tried formatting now serveral times infact. That didnt stop it. I am now classing it as some kind of hardwere incompatiblty or cofliction. I have tried unplugging all of my zip drives scanners and printers e.t.c every item plugged in the back of the PC.

So now i am taking the problem as a PCI card. I have a sound card, Extra USB ports (coming off motherboard), graphics card, modem, and a tv-card(this is not the problem, i tried removing it for a week and it still crashed), also a network card, also not the problem as i only fitted this a few days ago.

Is this just a trial and error process of removing the cards and seing if its ok without them, or is there an easier solution.

I should point out that everything worked fine on my old OS.

Has anyone else had this problem or know what could be casuing it, it gets really annoying after a while...

Any help on fixing this will be much appreciated,

Thanks alot,
TNT
