Raybay, you said
Looks like a memory issue.
Why??? It's just as likely a driver problem or BIOS or hardware compatibility as possibly memory.
To 1danny1032: increasing your memory is worthwhile (if you're keeping the computer) just cuz you'll get better performance in return for the cost (and memory's not alot of cost) but understand the odds are that replacing memory won't fix the problem (maybe it will, but likely not, as i see it)

How much space is remaining on the 60 GB hard drive? When you are down to 9.35 GB remaining, it is considered full...
NO! I've explained that before. If you insist on giving that advice then can you at least justify it??? Let me explain (AGAIN) in more detail:
> The Windows disk defragger requires 15% free space before it can defrag optimally. However, THIS DOES
NOT MEAN YOU MUST HAVE 15% FREE SPACE OR YOUR DISK IF FULL!!!
1) Windows will continue to run fine with just 1GB or 1.5GB. Absolutely! (other then maybe a bit slower if you aren;'t defragging) . As to defragging, in fact, you can find 3rd party defraggers like Diskeeper and Perfect Disk that state they can defrag with only 1% free space!!!! (i wouldn't recommend 1% but the underlying point here is that it's a DEFRAG issue and NOT a disk is full issue!)
So Raybay, if you can present a technical case otherwise, please do so. (and NO, telling me to go Gurgle the answer myself is not acceptable)
/* edit */
Raybay, to be absolutely clear and to the point: having less then 15% free space does NOT start causing system crashes/problems/etc as you tell people. (Besides a new defragger is also cheaper then a new disk drive! LOL)
