Hey everyone, Lately when I do things on my computer like right click a file to get its properties or misc other things my computer will lock up. I then I have to press control+alt+del, go to task manager force quit drwtsn32.exe and my computer desktop shows up again. Once in a while i will also get an error message with it saying "The memory could not be read" with a certain error mix of numbers. I brought my OC cpu down significantly and set my memory timings to stock timings. Anyone know what could be going on? 500W PS Radeon HD X2600 Gigabyte P35-DS3L 2gb Ballistix 4-4-4-12 DDR2

Can be a bad device driver; display, sound, chipset... You said "lately", so have you installed any drivers or programs that uses kernel level(.sys) drivers, just before these crashes started to occur? I have had problems with some .sys drivers. Also you can try to disable Dr. Watson, to see, if it has anything to do with those crashes. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/188296 ^Note, step "3." is very important.

I wish I had tried to just disable Dr Watson first but I already reformatted. I thought it might have something to do with me installing an nLite version of Windows XP Pro which always seems to result in a small bug. Anyway thank you next time I will definitely try to disable Dr Watson first 500W PS Radeon HD X2600 Gigabyte P35-DS3L 2gb Ballistix 4-4-4-12 DDR2
