I'll be brief, but over the last few months I have posted about numerous
computer issues from 'blue screen crashes' to installing SATA drives and
'Flat Screen Monitors', all an expensive excersise.

The SATA drive was an attempt to see whether it was a Hard Drive / IDE
cable / MoBo fault, that the MS Error messages were suggesting. (Treat
these messages with a pinch of salt).
I successfully installed the SATA drive over a week ago, after some
initial complications due to my lack of understanding. A new install of
Windows XP Pro, and within a hour a 'blue screen' crash / reboot. Also
various programmes continued to have faulting modules and closing down
with 'send error message to Microsoft' etc, before closing. (Firefox /
Thunderbird / Excel / Wordpad and more). Only a reboot would get them to
work again.

I joined the Abit forums over Christmas and after a day stumbled on this
'Blue Screen' thread.

Without anything to lose I made the suggested changes to the DRAM and
have had these manually set since Monday.
Since then, NO Crashes, No Faulting Modules, and I've even got the
Network and Printer sharing working properly now.

So if anyone has a simalar problem it maybe worth making a note of this fix.

Thanks to all who have replied to my posts either on usw or by e-mail.

Fingers crossed this post won't put the mockers on it !

My next task which has been put on hold since last summer due to this is
to start to have review of my website that I have a million and one
ideas to improve it. This may take some months :-) Now what did I do
with my copy of dreamweaver?

Thanks
