I have a new P4VM800 board with a 2.26Ghz Celeron chip. BIOS recognizes the
CPU during startup, and windows runs for a random amount of time, but freezes
after a while.

What would make it do that? Should I replace the board or re-install windows?

Something I noticed about my workstation: I removed and uninstalled the
wireless network card (so now I have no PCI devices installed) and it has
been running fine since then. I haven't had time to re-install this but will
let you know how it goes when I do.

Thank you for the reference. I tried that (except I used a repair because it
gave me the blue screen of death with an ugly IDE error when restarting with
the old disk) and it worked except I couldn't attach to the Exchange Server.
I could only see the mail through OWA. Curious.

With this board though, I also upgraded the HD, so it was a fresh install.
