Wow. I have only had one of those problems. IRQ_L etc. Fixed that, it was RAM.

I have not formatted my hd since Februray me thinks. Maybe March.

Tweaks. None. Defrag a lot, but not in the last 2-3 weeks.

Even on Win98 SE I experienced 2-3 BSOD. Pushed it to hard really.

I dual boot Win98 SE (color laser printer thing) and XP PRO Retail.

Another box has RedHat and XP Pro. Never had a prob with that one.

Also build custom PCs but only high end stuff for businesses or hard core gamers. XP Pro on all of them since November 2001. One came back but it was a bad video card thing.

I built my own Corp thing for something to do around December last year. Lots of people are using it and they have absolutely no probs. Maybe the source has to be considered. Eval, hacked crap, and the like seem to be issues. Stay with the real McCoy on your personal box and leave the crap to others I say.
