how to troubleshoot hang-up problem

[butitoy]

---

Hi Guys, need your super technical brain help.

my Windows XP Pentium D hangs up from time to time. Sometimes it hangs up when it loads the basic icons after loading through desktop. no BSOD

what i tried:
1. Cleaned off dust.
2. Check PSU - All RAILS are on its +/-5% tolerance
3. Used Seatools to check HDD. no Problem on HDD
4. Have 2 pcs of 1GB Dynet. I took out one and attached it in PCI port 1...stress test using memtest86+, orthos and prime. No problem reported. Tried the second stick on PCI port 1. no problem reported

but after attaching 2 sticks. intermittent problem comes back.

im thinking maybe PCI port 2 is having a problem. i will try one stick on PCI port 2 today. and see what happens... any other areas i should check?

no software/ hardware recently added.

thanks
