assuming you did a nice repartition and format before putting the OS on, take out the networking stuff, and make sure its running off a ups. also monitor the temperature. if its still doing the funky chicken, run a memory tester such as www.memtest.org

yeah, i reformatted using the NTFS system, and i put the NIC in after i installed windows and its driver, and it's running on a cheap UPS, and let me do a www.memtest.org
also, i don't want to make another thread but both my CRT monitors are out of wack (for example, trapazoid, rotation, pin balance, parallelogram, and side pin) i tried to adjust them using the OSD but i can never get them straight, the monitors are kds visual sensation 19" and amptron gs17e 17"
thanks again
edit: the mem test is 50% done and i'm getting 3588 errors... are there ways to fix the errors or will i have to buy new memory sticks, oh also, i have 3 memory sticks, 1x 128mb @ 133MHz is one brand and 2x 128 mb @ 133 MHz is another brand, will that matter?
edit2: test finished w/ around 54800 errors... what does that mean?

bad stick of ram. and it will f up the os files, replace the ram, and reinstall the os.

are all 3 of them are bad or just one?
edit: i am swapping each memory module out and testing see which one is the faulty one, but how are you suppose to put in a memory stick? 'cause every time i put it in and i turn on the computer, at start up, the computer gives me the beep... beep... and i had to turn my computer off and reset the ram, took me 465498481984454648984 tries!
edit2: solved, figured out the bad module, reinstalling windows right now, can somebody please help me out w/ the monitor problem? thanks
