We need a little info too.
What mobo do you have, what brand and type of memory, video card, CPU and
hard drive? Did you try overclocking it? When did the problems start? When
you first received the mobo, or later? When you reinstalled XP, did you
reformat the hard drive? Fdisk it? Have you tried another memory stick? A
little more can help.

I am getting the same error while trying to load in XP pro. I have a K7AMA (Elitegroup motherboard, 1.3mhz with 512M Ram (which I just replaced, thinking it was bad). I ran the RAM checker and it checked out fine. This computer was working fine and then I started getting memory dumps, so I Formatted and started from scratch, but, after the copying DOS files and reboot while doing the XP install, I get the memory dump and now just got "a thread tried to release a resource it did not own",
stop= 0x000000E3(0x8526D368, 0x853C8DA8, 0x00000000, 0x00000002)

I have a Maxtor 40G Hard drive, which I replaced with a smaller HD just to see if it fixed the problem...no.
No overclocking.
512MB DDR_226 (PC2100) RAM

PLEASE, please help. There was no "smoking gun" before the computer bombed out...nothing unusual, it just did a memory dump and hasn't been running since.
Oh, I have 3 fans running, so I don't think it's an overheating problem. When I check the CPU temp in the BIOS it says betweem 150 F and 160F.

Thanks!
