I recently installed a new HDD (Seagate 120G 7200RPM) drive in my system along with a USB 2.0 PCI card. I have a Athlon T-bird 1.0 GHz processor and an MSI mobo.
formatted and installed the OS from scratch.
I got a couple lockups after the new install, but I did see something interesting. After a reboot I got a windows message about recovering from a serious error and that it was caused by a driver (it didn't say which).
At this point I was thinking video since I had just installed the latest Nvidia forceware drivers, even thought I have a Geforce 4 4200 64M.
I uninstalled those and used the drivers that windows suggested.
I still am locking up, but only on video when using media player.
BTW, I loaded SP1 for XP.
Now, I'm thinking Soundblaster driver, maybe?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
