This is a two part question,so please bear with me.My originl problem was that win-xp was shutting down and re-booting into the BSOD.(Whenever their were multip[le windows open or whenever i was playing intensive 3d games)I tried memtest86 and it also shutdown,not knowing what to do i re-installed windows onto my 2nd drive(F seagate120gb).It worked for a few weeks and then it would shut down and reboot into my original drive c (maxtor40gb).That being the case i recently upgraded the cpu,video,mb.(specs down below).When i power-up the first time i was amazed to see that all my data wasnt lost.So i ran the drivers for the new hardware and got an activation key from MS.LOW and BEHOLD am getting the same damn problem.This time since i got only o0ne activation key for drive C when it boots to drive F, it ask for another activation key.I get around tjhis by going into the bios and changing the "HARD DISK BOOT PRIOITY" to DRIVE C (switches automatically to drive F: when it reboots itself).Now i just dont know where to start.Reinstall of windows sounds like my best bet(no,real important files to back-up besides pic's and afew doc's) but i dont know if MS would give a hard time getting a activation key since i was given one less then two weeks ago.Someone mentioned it could be malware or spyware taking up resources and causing it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....thx in advance........
