Hello all

I've recently started experiencing a frustrating problem with my XP system pc which I hope someone can help with.
My pc will boot up fine to the normal desktop.
I can start/run "some" programs without problems ie. Windows Explorer - Norton Utilities/Antivirus - Belarc Advisor - Ewido - Easycleaner.

Other programs such as - Internet Explorer - SisoftSandra - Aol - Windows XP system Restore - will "almost always" cause the pc to Lock/Freeze with no use of the mouse/keyboard or access to the Task Manager to close the program.

The lock-up's appear to occur when I try to run Internet based programs such as AOL - IE but will also freeze with SisoftSandra & the XP Restore facility?
Very occasionally I can start/run AOL - IE and all other programs without problems but these occurences are few and far between.... hence the use of another PC to post this plea for help.

Any help with the above would be very much appreciated
Many thank's, Dave

Feels and sounds like mismatched ram...download and run this ram test (it makes a floppy to use for test)

I wouldn't suggest using the Belarc Advisor. You wouldn't post your windows key on the internet, would you? Type "Windows XP" "Belarc Advisor Current Profile" key: into Google and you'll get a load of links directing you to the profiles of Belarc users, which includes personal info and product keys for Windows, Microsoft Office, and any other program you need a liscence to use that may be on your computer. This topic has had over 5400 diggs on digg.com. As you can see, ZAFF has probably inadvertantly published his XP key in post #4.
