Computer continually crashes - have installed latest Nvidia drivers, but
crashes became worse, restored original drivers. have installed Via 4 in 1
drivers, to try and improve stability. Crashes occur most when i am running
a virus check - presently using Kaspersky Personal Virus and Hacker software.
Screen will go blank, sometimes machine re-boots, other times it hangs - any
suggestions please??

that Kapersky did nothing for my computer; it was the worst antivirus I ever
tried. It slowed down my computer to unbelievable slows. Don't know what
Hacker software is but I use avast antivirus and I've never had a virus be
able to attack my computer since (over a year now) and it doesn't slow the
computer down and it's even 64bit enabled.

maybe try that one, it's free for the personal version (I bought the
professional one because it's so much better than any others I've come
across) and the pro version is a helll of a lot better than the free version,
but it's still the best of the free ones in my opinion. try it at least;
anythings better than kapersky anyways

Two suggestions.

Look in Device Manager for yellow question marks and, if found, post
details including Device Error Code. Right click on the My Computer icon on
your Desktop and select Properties, Hardware, Device Manager.

Look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer and post copies of
any Warning or Error Reports.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, Event
Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding
Event ID, Source and Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=winxp

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.


Hope this helps.
