what do you mean flash the bios?

 

I would recommend you switch out the memory modules one by one to test them out. I worked on a friends computer a couple of weeks ago and he had similar problems to your system. Turns out, one of his RAM modules was defective.

As for the ntoskrnl.exe, boot from the CD-ROM and then go into safe mode. Once you are in safe mode, copy the ntoskrnl.exe from your CD and into the winntsystem32 directory on your HD.

Hope this helps

 

Sounds like hardware or driver issues.

Alright, I called the fella who sold me the computer last December. I let him know of what was going on and the first thing he asked was if I installed all the latest drivers. Duh, stupid me... I was just using what was on the WinXP cd. I went to nvidia.com and downloaded the latest driver for my graphics card (the only driver I could think of that wouldn't be on the WinXP cd) and now everything is working peechy... for now. The computer would work before for a while and then just shut down. So, we'll see if it does that anymore.

Thanks for all your info, though folks. Have a nice day.
