I added to the additional memory I had.....and yes.....it's up to it's old tricks again. It's no where near as bad, but it takes about 10 boot ups to get running. Remind to never ride a Microsoft plane if one ever exists.

Re: Can't figure out the problem
Sounds like a memory problem to me, XP is really funny about memory. Have your tried a diff stick? (It maybe the right type, but could still be faulty)
If this aint the problem, try a diff PSU. Ensure you have the latest (pref not Beta) BIOS and its setup correctly (not meant as an insult, but I don't know how much you know).
As for the hard drive, download the manufacturers diagnostic software, most create a bootable floppy and do the full surface scan. (You might want to go watch some TV etc.....)
If not post some more info.
Good Luck

Re: Can't figure out the problem
There are two main causes for problems with win XP.
1. Not enough RAM or two sticks of RAM that don't like each other. Always go for a matched pair, just two sticks of the same type is not enough.
2. You have somehow offended the BILL and now he has initiated Stage 1 of program BUBBLE OS VENDETTA. You can expect Stage 2 to begin shortly so if any pets or loved ones go missing in the next 2-6 weeks do not be surprised and do not expect them to return. After that, stage 3, I'd be carefull where you leave your toothbrush.
So basically if it is the latter, you have about 6 and a half weeks untill the BILL terminates your existance, I hope for your sake its just the ram

Re: Can't figure out the problem
it was the memory. it's all better now. thanx for the concern and help guys!!!
Re: Can't figure out the problem
I was just going to post that I've had a very similar experience recently, and it was due to damaged RAM. When I ran Memtest, one stick would run all day with no errors. The other would go until it reached 0.43%, by which time it had over 1000 errors. Sent it in to get RMA'd and am waiting a response.
