First you can see by http://www.stud.fernuni-hagen.de/q3998142-bin/cgi-bin/ibrd/forums.cgi?forum=5 that there is a lot of misery to share.
If this was my box, I would...
1. Eject that 16GB drive.
2. Make sure that I'm using 80 conductor IDE cables all around.
3. ONE STICK OF RAM TILL it's stable.
4. Set the AGP to 1X till it's stable.
5. The latest BIOS with the safest settings.
In closing, I take it that in your upgrade to XP, you loaded all the drivers for MOTHERBOARD, USB, VIDEO, AUDIO and what else you have. Microsoft doesn't do this for you.

i was using windows 98se and bought the graphics card and it worked fine for 9 months then i upgraded to win xp and now the rendering is all messed up random colours on the textures also when the computer starts up the screen will go blank but 3 out of 4 times it wont come back the computer is still running but the screen is blank even the on screen display on the monitor dosent come up i got some advise before and upgraded my power to a 500w but that solved nothing the only way to stop the crashes is to turn off antialising to x2 and the antistropic filtering to x2 but then most games wont run because they like it to be on aplication control i have run out of ideas now this problem has been with me sice october now and im running out of ideas i made sure i have the up to date drivers for windows and the video card but still nothing has helped
