Frequent crashes\lockups
As you may or may not know, I recently built my own computer. I'm experiencing frequent freezing and blue screens of death. It happens at seemingly random times, but often during games, or after clicking buttons. It also seems to happen when a progress bar is displayed.
Windows XP Pro
AMD Athlon XP 2100+
512MB RAM
Gigabyte 7VRXP (Motherboard)
Most of the time it just freezes, but sometimes I'll get a BSOD with nothing but the error code 0x0000008E. I looked this up on the microsoft site, and only found something about an error while installing windows.
I am bewildered. Has anyone else experienced problems like these? Does anyone know what could be wrong?
