Re: error restarts intermittently

The computer has a linksys wmp54g (wireless lan) installed. We were
utilizing linksys wireless monitor v4.3 for years without problem. XP has
its own wireless networking capacity.

First, I tried to uninstall the LAN completely. I thought it was done but
when the card is re-installed ECSD, DMI Pool message did not appear and the
card is not detected. Now, how can that be. It was fine for years. I remove
it for the third or fourth time. The system is started. When the WLan card
is out the stop error does not occur! I'm on the right track.
Now, windows needs to be reactivated, great... one more thing.
Finally, I install the card and BIOS sees it during boot. However, I cannot
use the Linksys setup because it must be installed before the card is
inserted into a PCI slot. Also, it will install the network monitor too. I
must eliminate that.
I manually detect hardware through control panel. I load the driver manually
and configure the internet and our home network through the XP wireless
networking.
I reactivate windows.

All of this took chunks out of three days but it is done and all fixed.

The wireless linksys network monitor and the resources the WLan card were
trying to grab must have cause the problem. My son shutting down improperly
is where it all started though.
The tough part is getting the right device. If you can't get into windows
you're done. You do get into windows with no trouble, but no trouble is the
key. Two or three hours later the system halts with the stop error. Safe
mode works but that doesn't help when everything is operational. The system
would hang with the ide acces led glowing at other times. Service control
manager in event view had several errors. One of the errors referred to the
WLan. I suspected it may be the problem before so I went for that first.
What a pain in the ass.

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.
