XP Pro locks up

My laptop came with ME, and locked up quite often (ie:
had to cut power to reboot).
ME crached about 8 months ago and I upgraded to XP pro
and have not had the OS lock up until now. I just
reformated my hard drive (by booting up to the XP cd).
Everything went well, except now XP locks up, worse than
ME ever did.
Any ideas?
Thanks
 
This sounds like a hardware issue.
Have you run a memory diagnostic and a hard drive diagnostic?

most likely hardware drivers that aren't compatible with
xp.
go to the web site for your laptop and look for xp drivers
i had to upgrade the drivers for my hp laptop before
installing xp.
