Dear Faheem,

Can u plz tell me message that's being displayed in the Blue Screen. It would be easier to look into the problem.

Thanx, Raj.

Why don't you try increasing the size of the pagefile on your HDD. That should help you a bit.

Thanx, Raj :)

As you may know, the blue screen indicates an error and it ususally means that the computer does not have enough RAM (random access memory) to handle the work it has been given to do. If you are using several applications, each application takes some of the RAM to operate. As additional programs are opened, they attempt to find RAM to use. Your computer tries to free up RAM by switching other items stored in RAM into temporary hard drive files (swapping), but eventually becomes too overburdened to do any more swapping, and you get the blue screen which shows an error related to storing information.

I have had the same type of problem,
i found out that the scsi controler was incompatibal with WinNT, although it did work to an extent.

Faheem,

It does sound like a memory problem but I'm suspicious at the eventual outcome ending on a blue screen.

The first think you should do and may have done is write down the top line of the blue screen output and reference it to the first item entry (example 0xc0000005) and work forward from the blue screen line by doing a serach on Technet at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/

Normally it can be attributed to simply bad code either on the driver end or application crosslinking in memory. It can also be attributed to a bad memory module. There are so many possiblities. The first line to your blue screen may not be as mysterious, read the screen data carefully other than the mem dump.
