13381	2001-05-30 05:48:00	I am having a big problem with general protection faults on my computer. They are all coming from different programs and different memory locations. They happen seamingly randomly and I have no way of telling when they will strike. I have reinstalled windows and most of my software but they still happen. Any ideas?	Guest (0)

If the problem is occuring after the computer has been running for a while, I would check the CPU is not overheating.
