Computer keeps hanging.

Hi,

I got this problem with my computer I recently built that I'm not sure about
its cause, but was hoping that maybe someone here could help me with.

The computer keeps hanging at random occations, so it's very difficult to
pin-point the excact circumstances and thus the reason for why it hangs. It
doesn't seem as it's related to any particular operations nor for how long
I've been using the computer.

One time it hanged right with the logon screen in Windows XP, another time
when I had been running BurnInTest for a while and a last time when I was
just surfing web pages.

My computer consists of the following:

Mobo: Abit KD7, VIAKT400, ATA/133
PSU: Enermax ATX 431W
CPU: AMD Athlon XP2400+ 2.0 GHz 266 MHz bus
RAM: 512MB DDR PC3200
GFX: Creative Geforce 4 Ti4400
Harddrives: 2
CD-ROMs: 2

I have no idea why this problem occur. I've also reinstalled Windows XP
after installing this new hardware, but the problem still remained.

So is there anything I can check or do to maybe overcome this issue. Any
ideas and I'll be more than greatful! Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

- Roy

Start by checking your memory first with memtest86.
Check your system temperatures too to see if you're overheating.
