Thanks for looking at this post. My system randomly hangs up. Whenever this happens I check the event viewer in Windows XP under system and I the following Warning listed "Unable to create the symbolic link for \Device\Serial0." Can anyone advise me how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey there, I was experiencing something similar.I have an IBM 1.8Ghz PC, Win2000 SP3.
- Replaced IDE cables - problem continues
- Disabled Com1 and Com2 - problem continues
- Cleared BIOS and removed USB cable - seems ok?
At this point I burnt a CD and did some other stuff,PC seemed stable.
- plugged USB cable back in - problem reappears.
- Removed USB cable, upgraded BIOS - seems ok again?
Played some music, worked with Macromedia Flash a little... ok?
- Ran Win2000 Service Pack 4, rebooted.. I'm thinking it has to be with the OS and the USB drivers, or the printer (HP 1210psc). Good luck!
Mike.

I got the same error and I also thought this was making my computer crash, to get rid of this error I disabled both com1 and com2 in the bios, but this did not stop my computer from crashing. i thought it may be because of xp sharing irq's, so i did a fresh install of xp, setting it up as a standard pc instead of an ACPI pc, but this was even worse, so i had to re-install back to an ACPI. But the one thing i did do was to replace my ide cables from 40 way to 80 way and guess what it hasn't crashed since. i had an suspicion it was something to do with the hard disks as my computer would crash while i was downloading from the web or if i was saving some large files to disk. So if you stll have 40 way cables, change them to 80 way and this may cure the problem. Good Luck!

I have the same problem. What system do you have? I'm running Winxp pro on an ibm a31 thinkpad. 1.8 GHz p4 w/ 512 MB. Initially I thought it was something w/ a corrupted page file or system restore data, but after trying solutions for those (essentially deleting them), it still happens. If I find anything I'll post it here..
