I have just built a new system:

Asus A8N-E w/ NB47J
Athlon 64 3800+ Venice
Kingston 2x1024MB DDR PC3200 (Dual Channel) @ 3-3-3-8
Sapphire ATI Radeon X850XT
Seasonic S12 550w

Using Windows XP with SP2 and all the latest drivers (Chipset/Sound/Network/Graphic/etc.). I have tested the system with the following testing tools without any errors:

Memtest86+ (24h+)
Prime 95 (Small and blend, 8h+ each)
Super Pi
Without any activity

But if I surf the net, use outlook or download bittorrents my system freeze and lock up the system so I need to do a hard reset. This problem occurs when I haven?t used the system for a while. Very strange and very frustrating when there is no blue screen to see what causes this problem.

Any advice or help is most welcomed! Thanks!

Hi, could you run some tools for me:

Anti Spyware:

Have a look in your event viewer and see what errors you get from there at the time of the system crash.

You could always export the application log and security log to a text file and post them on the site if you are unsure.

I ran full system scans with:

Nod32: No viruses found.

Adaware: No spyware found.

HijackThis: Did not found any strange programs that starts up with WinXP. Log here.

Event viewer: Application log here; System log here; Nothing in the Security log

Note! A freeze/crash occured today 2005-07-11, around 10.15-11:00 (Didn't write down the exact time :-P).

The faulting service is WMI. Please do the following:

To verify that the WMI Performance Adapter service is enabled


Click Start, point to Control Panel, point to Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.
Double-click WMI Performance Adapter.
In the Startup type list, click Manual.

Also, read this: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sup...33&ProdVer=5.2

I managed to reinstall WinXP again, hopefully I can use this version for more than 3 days .

The critical error caused by the WmiAdapter is gone and hopefully the problem I had before is gone forever.

Thanks!

What you need to do now is get some spyware protection on your PC and also keep your anti virus upto date.
