I can't answer that. I would look into testing your RAM before
installing any software updates. To test your RAM, I like Memtest86+
from www.memtest.org. Obviously, you have to get the program from a
working machine. You will either download the precompiled Windows
binary to make a bootable floppy or the .iso to make a bootable cd. If
you want to use the latter, you'll need to have third-party burning
software on the machine where you download the file - XP's built-in
burning capability won't do the job. In either case, boot with the
media you made. The test will run immediately. Let the test run for an
hour or two - unless errors are seen immediately. If you get any
errors, replace the RAM.
