>Yes, I've taken it down to a newly formatted c-drive. Get the same type of errors at the same frequency even when the only thing loaded is Win '95. Sometimes it runs for weeks with no problems, other times it crashes repeatedly. All this leads me to suspect hardware, especially since the owners of the shop that built mine sold the business, filed bankruptcy, and one fled the country to avoid some type of prosecution (something about illegal coimputer parts). Just my luck, 99% of these shops are good, I picked the 1%. Office mates suggest moving memory chips to see if the error moves to another location; that would indict the chips. Another post recommended a program to check out my PC, I'll try that too.

Dallen,

I read the replies. All very good ideas indeed. I guess you already tried running some sort of diagnostic program such as Norton. Faulty memory can be very hard to diagnose good luck and keep us informed.
