Blue screen error message

Hello all,

I have win XP Pro on a P4 3.0 Ghz on a Asus p5gdc Deluxe motherborad. I work
with a maxtor SATA 200gb 7200 drive, DDR-2 512mb memory. I installed all
bios updates, SP2 and driver updates. Now when i work with 5 programs, and
its to busy, i get a blue screen, with technical code stuff. etc.


What is generally the origin of this problem? Is it the lack of memory?

ahh what the hell, I'll take a crack at it...
who made the memory? I recall one particular module I had that went out
about... almost half a year ago now. just for the hell of it, check out
http://www.memtest.org they have a VERY good memory diagnostic util. I
found problems in that module, and I kept running that module for about
a week (the amount of time it took for my double replacement to come).
In addition, I had a problem (and I hope to hell you don't) with my
processor (a later, unrelated incident) that resulted in me losing about
300 USD just to troubleshoot and replace. I have no doubts as to the
quality with which ASUS makes their motherboards, and Maxtor is among
the most trustworthy distributors of hard drives. if its not a problem
with any drivers (check with the manufacturers, Micro$oft is no one's
friend), then try memtest if things are still shaky.

If memtest finds no problems, but freezes while running, it might be the
processor. If memtest runs flawlessly but finds errors in your memory
module, RMA the damn thing if its still under warranty, finally, if
memtest runs flawlessly and finds NO flaws in your memory module, it
might be a problem with another piece of hardware. hopefully one that
you can replace for relatively cheap.

Just something I have come across. If you downloaded SP2 then you are in
for problems. Any computer I have come across where SP2 was downloaded has
had problems similar to what you described. Yes it could be a hard ware
problem. But this is what I have come across. Formatting the drive and
reinstalling has been the only thing that has worked. . Try doing the test
like the other reply mentioned and if all else fails format and reinstall.
If the problem still persists then you have another problem.

Move to Linux, Gentoo for instance. I use windows only when I must. The need
