PC acting up and running slowly

[Guest]

Hello, I have had frequent blue screens of death, frequent crashes/freezes
and this is even after reformatting my HD. I'm running windows XP on -

AMD Athlonxp 2000+
Asus SiS745 Mobo
512MB DDR ram
40GB HD
Geforce4Ti4200 128mb

It is an older computer put together about 4 years ago but it used to run
fine and just recently has started acting up badly. If anyone here plays
World of Warcraft I would also like to know why it has such a hard time with
running that game, it will freeze randomly for 45-50 seconds at a time and my
processors red light is just a-running away.

For more accurate help you really need to post the error code that the blue
screen gives you.This code is the key to your troubles.

Ok it's not even so much the blue screens anymore, I've gotten the fix for
that, it was the nv4dll stop error.

I'm just getting random bootdowns where my computer just shuts off no
warning, I'm getting frequent freezeups where I cannot move my mouse anymore
but the buttons on the mouse still respond and click items.

My computer is also running world of warcraft at a crawl which I'm pretty
sure I should be getting at least 35fps and i average 8-10, which I'm pretty
sure is due to something with my ram or processor. Any other help would be
appreciated.

If you can does this happen before or after playing world of warcraft. Does
your computer run fine up until that point or does the nv4dll stop error
come up as soon as windows starts. If you think it might be related to world
of warcraft try updating your drivers for your graphics card, sound card
etc. As for the error you need to be more specific when it is happening.
