it says that there is a Error Signature
BCCode: 19 BCP1. 000000020 BCP2 :E2B1D348 BCP3 : E2B1D988
BCP4:0CC800801 OS Ver:5_1_2600 SP:2_0 product :768_1

when i have a look at the technical info it says:

417809 2006-01-04 00:32:00 What was the last thing you did? Install or uninstall something? In which case boot into safemode and run System Restore.
Or virus/spyware?
If you can't fix it then you might have to do a Repair Install.

417810 2006-01-04 00:39:00 Its been going wacky for the last couple of days, so i reinstalled XP again yesterday it went ok for a while, about 2 hours then started doing this again, i can't put my finger on what i installed or uninstalled that may have caused it, i have run antivirus but nothing comes up.

417811 2006-01-04 00:43:00 Whats the processor in the system??

Is SP1 or 2 installed?

Does it show a blue screen? With the name of the driver?

417813 2006-01-04 01:36:00 IF YOU EVER GET INTO WINDOWS, BACK UP IMPORTANT FILES .

The BCCode looks like it's a problem with the NTFS file system, in other words how things are stored on your hard drive .

Your message is unusual, since "The system has recovered from a serious error" message usually means a bad device driver, caused by a hung thread .

If you can boot into Safe Mode, you might want to do a check disk .

Otherwise you could try it from the recovery console

If it does, I would install that patch from the MS site.

417815 2006-01-04 03:58:00 Test your RAM with memtest86 (freely downloadable). This kind of error message as well as the other symptoms you metioned is a indicator of faulty ram. beama (111)
417816 2006-01-04 05:39:00 I used memtest, it found 14 errors in 5 minutes, so i took out 1 x 256 mb ram card and left the other 512 mb in there, it has run with no fault now for well over 30 minutes with no probs .

thanks very much for all your help, :thumbs:

Could i ask someone ? would i have put more strain on the lesser mb[256] memory stick, by having the other one twice its strength ?
I will get another 512 mb one to match now though, just curious .
many thanks

417817 2006-01-04 05:46:00 If the mobo supports dual channel memory (if its got 4 ram slots), it'll be better using 2 512mb simms (if u want 1GB), which are the same brand and speed, to make use of Dual Channel .

I dont think it'll make a diff with the 256mb simm .

BUT, as above if the mobo supports dual channel, get 2 identical 512mb simms .
