    I have recently noticed that when ever i go to load a movie or video, both online and offline my computer completely freezes to the point of no return, i have to manually restart the computer. This has only been happening since i reinstalled xp after uninstalling vista, is this a software problem or driver or windows problem???

    System Specs
    Pentium 4 3.0 ghz
    512 mb DDR ram
    Nvidia NX 6600 GT 128mb
    onboard sound card
    windows media player 11 installed

    after you installed XP did you install the motherboard drivers? are there any devices in device manager with a yellow question mark or yellow triangle next to them?

    I would do a low-level format.

    SM Bus Controller is a yellow question mark with a small yellow exclamation mark next to that, it says in device manager that the device isnt configured properly

    Let windows search for the driver on the motherboard cd.
