Wait, never mind, I was imagining things. It's still busted. Yet somehow the comp only crashes when I'm using xdcc bots on irc. Ah, the pain!

I had this problem on a Dell 8300 fresh out of the box. Santosh's solution (and James'shortcut) solved the problem right away. I was not looking forward to interminable calls to the Dell help desk. Does anyone know if there is a downside to using the PCILOCK switch in the boot.ini file?

I am Facing the same problem, I have a motherboard I will dx400-SN, two 2.2 Xeon dual processors,1GB Samsung Rambus Memory, Gerforce2 Mx400 AGP 64 MB Nvidia Video Card.
I tried many times to install the system, after many blue randoms screens I did, but my system was rebooting and crashing all the time, sometimes was up for one, two hours but sometime minutes, seconds and when starting up. I updated all drivers and service packs and nothing happens. I formated many times trying diferents drivers dates but none works, I change the motherboard for a new one
and the problem persist. Any sugestion please email me at rokoloko@hotmail.com

Another way of doing what Santosh just said would be to go:START, RUN, then type "msconfig"
A window will appear, click on the "Boot.ini" Tab, then "Advanced Options", then tick the box to the left of /PCILOCK. I think both will work the same, but if, like me, you dont like using DOS commands, it may be a little bit easier.

When you get such an error message. Perform the following steps.
To resolve this problem, perform the following steps:
1. Restart the computer.
2. press the <F8> key to display the Windows XP startup menu.
3. Press the <Down Arrow> key to select Safe Mode Command Prompt and then press the <Enter> key.
4. Click to select the Administrator account.
5. Type cd\ and then press the <Enter> key.
The c:\> prompt appears.
c:\> attrib -r boot.ini
6. Type edit boot.ini and then press the <Enter> key.
The boot.ini screen appears.
7. Under the boot.ini screen under the Operating system section you wiil have a path as shown below.
[operating system]
device=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)"Microsoft windows xp home edition"
8. Type a switch "/pcilock" after typing you will see the path as shown below.
Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)"Microsoft windows xp home edition" /pcilock
9. By doing so windows stops dynamically assigning the irq's(Interrupt Request) to the devices and
It takes the irq's assigned by the BIOS.
10. So this is going to solve the issue and also by following this article we can
Even overcome the bangs on the cd drives.dvd drives after upgrading the system to windows xp from windows me/98 etc.And my e-mail id

Use XP's system restore utility to roll back to when your system was working fine, then reinstall your modem. If it crashes after that, check Microsoft's Hardware Compatibility List for your modem, update the drivers if necessary. If it still doesn't work, try a different make of modem.HTH

Hi,I have the same problem too, but it only started recently. I have used my ADSL connection without problem for about 3 weeks until this problem appear after some automatic updates of my system/applications. I am not sure what has been updated, but I remember clicking a button to restart the system after the update. Have tried a few remedy, including: installing Windows XP SP1, updating the ADSL Modem driver, but to no avail. Have gone back to Windows 98, and currently searching for a fix. My modem is Aztech DSL500U.

Does sound like a compatibility issue to me. Try to see if there are updated XP drivers for your modem. If not, see if you could borrow a friend's different modem, install that and see if the issue continues. Most likely its either the drivers or the modem itself : I have windows xp, and i recently got connected with adsl..my pc crashes when i host a game on line..it might work for a while and sudenly...crash...
: it also does it sometimes when i download music.Someone told me it's because my modem is not compatible with xp, and i should reformat with 98.
