I have Windows XP pro SP1 with all the latest updates. It has no viruses, etc. However at some random time when it has plenty of memory free it will crash. It is crashs frequently regardless of the program I am running.

Crashes in XP are usually due to a driver problem.

XP pro on my desktop has not crashed for at least 8 months or more and it's on around 12 to 18 hours a day. I can't even remeber it crashing this year.

However, on my laptop the ATI mobility graphics card driver is unstable and courses XP to crash all the time.

If you have a NVidia Card I can assume so, as I think their latest driver is crap. I've had a few crashes since I upgraded.

I also have a problem with Media Player since installing the new driver, if I select multiple video files in a playlist the first one is OK, the second one is way too bright and low res, the third one is good again and so on. It is not the file itself but every other file no matter with which one I start.

I had a lot of crashes with ATI 9700 drivers and various versions of DX. Finally have an install that works, but too scared to upgrade to the latest DX.

Other thing to check for is bios and chip patches for your motherboard. XP is hard on AGP MB and chipsets that aren't up to snuff.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
