If you have experienced this with a new clean drive the next step is
somewhere else in your PC. I have experinced strange freezeups and
bluescreens on a laptop in Win2K that turned out to be bad memory. Test both
memory chips individually. Laptop memory is notorious for going bad because
of heat over time. It can cause all sorts of strange issues. Usually if a
CPU goes bad, it just goes kput. Memory errors show up at random under load
and not under load. If you have a floppy drive, try testing the memory using
a simple floppy program. I think you can burn some of those to CDR too, if
you don't have floppy.
