Okay, I was just about to post a page long post about how my comp keeps crashing and then it did it again!
Bare with me, I am going to save after every couple of sentences and then edit this post in case it crashes again.
Okay, so my computer was running fine for about 3 months. This is a new build that I did about a month after christmas. Everything worked perfectly, but then Windows XP started crashing left and right. I thought it was just time for a reformat, but now after a reformat and reinstall of Windows XP (SP2) Home Edition it is still crashing frequently. I haven't changed any of the settings except for:
I removed:
MSN Explorer
Indexing Service from C: drive and all of it's subfolders
Windows Messenger
I installed:
Firefox
Attempted to update Windows
The comp only seems to crash when it is under a heavy load such as transferring 40gb of info off my brother's laptop (I put it there while I reformatted.
I don't know what to do. I am getting BSOD, the ones I can remember are
IRQL_Less_not_equal_to or something like that, and RDR File Directory.
The last time it crashed was when I was starting a thread just like this one. The time before that is was when I was trying to transfer files, and the time before that was when I was attempting to update Windows XP off of microsofts website.
Anybody know what is going on?
Again this is a completely fresh install of Windows XP (SP2) Home Edition.
