Hi Folks
Background
The system has run flawlessly for well over a year with XP Home
Update, Problems have only arisen since I bought and started using a
XP Pro Updated edition a week ago
Problem
After apparently random periods of time from 10 minutes to an hour, a
yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark appears in the system
tray. If clicked with either right or left mouse button it
vanishes.This is folowed by a range of error messages such as critical
error run out of virtual memory, not enough memory to run this
application. Applications fail to laod system crashes, and only
albeit temp. solution is to reboot. I use RAMBooster to montitor free
ram and XP Pagefile monitor to monitor pagefile usage and size.
I'm using exactly same hardware and software as when it ran flawlessly
with XP Home edition
What I've tried
Reformatting - 4 times in a week
the obvious reg cleans, deleting temp files, running av/spware apps
etc.
System
AMD Athlon 3000+ 64 bit
ASUS 64 bit mobo
512 mb RAM
Radeon 9600 series 256 mb video card
200gb Maxtor HD partitioned as:
C: 80 GB 70 Gb free
D: 120 GB 30 GB Free
OS Windows XP Pro Upgrade (Legit I add!)
All updates included
Free RAM
Runs bewteen 170 to 240 MB free
Pagefile Location
C:\pagefile.sys
Pagefile size 1533 mb, usually uses 69 mb
Security
Norton AV 2004 all updates scans weekly
Spybot S + D updated and ran weekly
Ad-aware SE updated and ran weekly
Spywareblaster updated weekly
Xoft Spy updated and ran weekly
Trojan Remover updated weekly and runs at startup then in background
Zone Alarm Firewall
Maintainance
CC Cleaner
Internet Sweeper Pro
DiskCleaner
RegClean
Registry Tuneup
Diskeeper Defrags in background
Any help appreciated TIA
