I just recently bought a new computer from a company online that builds custom systems and I've only had it for a few weeks, but ever since I've got it, it's been completely locking up at random times.

I've tried to pinpoint the exact time, but to no avail. Now I contacted my tech support, but they told me to try running the computer with another DIMM of DDR RAM, the problem is that I don't have an extra DIMM because I just upgraded to this system and don't currently have any extra components. I am fairly sure it is a hardware problem, but don't know where to begin.

here's a quick overview of my system:
Motherboard - ABit KG7 RAID
AMD Athlon XP 1700
512 MB DDR RAM
40 GB Western Digital HD
Video Card - Asus 8200 Deluxe GeForce 3
Sound Card - Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
NIC - 3Com 3C905B 10/100 PCI
Operating System - Windows XP Pro

FYI too, I tried some freeware diagnostic program called BurnInTest, but everything passed fine, whereas I know everything isn't fine.

I also have a problem with the xp1700 and abit kg7-raid
I have been to about 6 forums where many users are having the same problems with this board and processor combo.XP1600,XP1700,and XP1800 chips do not play well with this board. Ive gotten it to run by going into the bios softset menu and setting the processor to user defined settings that look like this:
