I would be grateful for advice.
From having a stable xp system I have had a month of continual crashing. I thought it coincided with upgrading Bullguard antivirus to version5. I could always guarantee a crash if I did a virus scan. I removed Bullguard and things improved. I thought Outlook was causing problems so I re-installed a few times with no improvement.
The error messages from MS crash analysis always say either device driver problem or more commonly hardware failure.
I can now 'order' a crash by using windows media player 10 especially if I scan for media files.
I suspect this is a hardware problem and did change my cpu cooler as this was the problem a few years ago with win98.

Any hints as to what to do? Will posting a hijack log help? I run spybot, ad-aware and giant detectors and they seem to work well. CW shredder does its job occasionally.

Thanks a lot
