Got this two weeks on my other PC. Had to replace the motherboard. You can try a fresh XP install, but if the problem persists, look into getting a new mobo.

It could many other things other than the motherboard. That would be a last resort and at that point it may be easier to go with a new computer

Stop testing ram by pulling the sticks and get Memtest boot program. Then you'll know for sure.

Its hard to diagnose a mobo going bad. Open her up, make sure theres no loads of dust causing anything to over heat.

Whats the BSOD code?
