Look at the minidumps in the windows folder.

Use tools for windows debugging, open the minidump, follow the tutorial and
you can see some driver names their.

Check out if drivers causing problems.

Monkey could do it

So you need special debugging tools download those.

Thanks for the info!
OK, the minidump gives me an error that win32k.sys may be the problem.
Doing some research leads me to think the problem is RAM or OS.
I tried memtest86+, and all is fine. Swapping one stick out and the
other doesn't stop the problem.

I also found on a forum a suggestion the disabling Fast Write in the
BIOS has fixed the same problem I'm having! Unfortunately, that
option's not available in this BIOS. Is this something for just AGP
and not PCIx slots?

Thanks for the reply!
