Hi folks,
I am at the end of my rope so I thought I would ask for some help.
I have a Gigabyte GA7n4400 pro2, with an Athalon 2100 XP.
It has 512 MB of RAM, and two WD Caviar Drives, one is 100 GB, the other is 250GB.
I use Win XP, up to date.
Here is the problem: Every so often, the operating system crashes, and the C: drive gets corrupted. I can't get past the XP welcome screen, and I have to use the recover utility on the XP installation disk. After the recovery, the data on the second disk is gone, the operating system can't find it, and I have to "reformat" (using the WD drive tools) to make the disk usable.
The only problem I seem to have software wise is when I use Netscape 7.1. It is th eonly application that is used before all the crashes. It is a strange crash; On a couple of newspaper web sites I use, sometimes I try to get the AP articles in a seperate menu. Sometimes they work, sometimes they load some of the article, then Netscape freezes. To use it again, I have reboot the OS. Then a short time after I reboot, crash goes the system again.
The only thing I can think of at this point is that some script gets into the brouser, and crashes the brouser which either rewrites data on the system, or something like that. I am totally at a loss as to what to do to fix this mess, and any help is greatly apprectiated!
