Stop: error restarts intermittently

My wife's system chokes when starting Windows XP, SP3 with all updates. My
son is famous for shutting down improperly. When Chkdsk runs I know he skips
the check. I think this is what created this problem. He is in too much of a
hurry to play Halo online, 11 yr old.

I have tried the recovery console- fixboot, fixmbr. I ran chkdsk from safe
mode on both disks, no errors detected. However, intermittently, more often
that not, the system will halt with the error described above. Norton AV
detects nothing and Spybot finds no spy. Again, sometimes I get into safe
mode but sometimes the system hangs with the ide led glowing bright. The
scsi led shows no hdd activity. I have stopped the system from restarting on
system error. Now, I see the stop error each time. At the beginning it
flashed by so fast I had no idea. Well, I still have no idea.

I pulled the memory and tried different sticks. The scsi and video card fan
and heat sinks are thoroughly clean. The slocket and its cpu heat sink fan,
power supply and motherboard are also free of dust. I disabled all caching
and shadowing.

I think my disks are fine. I suspect the IDE hard disk may have an
intermittently functional electronic component. Some satus or command is not
tracking properly.

I need help from the true experts-- you all. Where do I go with this.
Thank you.
