Device Driver crashes

[Thomas Robson]

I Built my own computer using an ASUS p4s8x mother board I
have been crashing hourly for a year now I have had
crashes with only the XP software installed I have tried
every update possible still it crashes I have disabled or
removed most of my hardware. I even formatted C: and
started anew to just get repeated crashes. They occur with
the computer just sitting on. Signing off the internet and
then on again seems to increase the crashes. Logging from
one user to another also seems to increase the frequency
of the crashes. There are time the computer will run for
hours with no problems and thebn other times I can't even
sign into the inter net to send an error report.

How do you know it's a device driver that's causing the problems? Your
symptoms are indicative of hardware, not software, problems. Start with
a RAM diagnosis, check the power supply, check for overheating. Do a
motherboard/processor test (if you don't have the ability to do these
last items, take the machine to a good local computer shop - not a
CompUSA or BestBuy - and have them test for you).
