got this info from another newsgroup. Micron says this
machine was not tested with XP so BIOS may not work. I
looked at Events Viewer and found an error. See my post
above to w_tom above.

This points to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 283649.
I am going to try putting Win 98 badk o and see if it
will stay running, then probably get a new MB also.
Good luck
Bill
