Dear Malke,
yesterday i made the first test with memtest86 but it's ok.
I made also other software tests and i discovered that my problems begin
when i connected to internet !
I have an ADSL connection with a ethernet modem (Ericcson hm220dp) with a
single computer, and i use the dialup (lan connection) of Win/Xp Home to
autenticate my connection with my local italian provider.
The amazing discover is that all the "hang" problems begin when i make the
first connection to the net.

I usually use this internet softwares :
Windows XP dialup (to autenticate)
Fortè Agent 2.0 (for news and mail)
Kerio Personal Firewall
Winmx (p2p client)
GetRight (download manager)
Mozilla Firefox 0.8 (for the web)

Have you any suggestion for me to solve this problem ?
Thank you very much in advance and best regards !!!
