XP keeps hanging when I have multiple programs running

[kdesai89]

I've been having this problem ever since I bought my computer. Whenever
I run multiple programs Windows suddenly hangs. I highly doubt it has
anything to do with a virus or software. I have a feeling this might
have to do with the Hardware or something I've done.

My Computers Specs:
3.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 Processor (Hyper-threading)
1 GB of RAM
250 GB of HD
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 SP2

I've tried many different things but so far i've had no luck, could
someone please help.
Thanks

Have you talked with the tech support for the computer vendor since it's
a new computer?

Run several of these memory diagnostic tools. Run them for some time
each, not just a single pass:

Memtest86+

Windows Memory Diagnostic

DocMemory Memory Diagnostic

Thanks for the advice, I'm gonna give HP a call as soon as I can and
hopefully get this all figured out. I ran the first memtest and so far
nothing seems to be wrong. I have a feeling this has something to do
with faulty hardware.

You're welcome. Good luck.
