1. Be sure the machine is COOL! Remove that case cover and point a fan at it.
2. Be free from all PARASITES noted with the tools at http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6132-0.html?forumID=32&threadID=1313&start=0
3. After 1 and 2, review the XP Shutdown Articles two clicks off the Shutdown link at http://www.aumha.org/articles.htm
4. After 1, 2, 3 I'd look at POWER SUPPLY RATING (read http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20040122/
5. After 1, 2, 3, and 4, I'd look at a run of http://www.memtest86.com for about an hour. Regardless of runtime, the only answer is ZERO errors.
Off to find the coffee.
