Windows keeps on locking up

[maakaa]

Hello All, Here is my problem.
I had a windows 2000 Pro Box,it kept locking up so I moved to win XP Pro since then I had the same problem. Every so often it XP would lock up for no reason. It would freeze and no matter what I did you could not unfreeze it.I needed to do a hard shut down.
AMD Duron 950 Mhz
20 GIG HDD
D-link 530+ NIC
HP CDRW
PC100 256 Ram Kingson
Win XP Pro
Office XP
IE 6 sp1
Things I have Done
Change the video driver---- Still locking up
( Switch HDD )Took out the HDD and put it in another box, The box that the HDD was in is now running windows 2000 AS and is running fine Has not had a problen in 2 days --- But The box with Win XP Pro ( one with the Problem ) is Still locking up I was tring to rule out MOBO, Power Supply, Ram, Video card ect. I did not reinstalled it on the other HDD just Switch them.

Uninstall xp SP1-- still locking up
tested the ram -- fine -- still locking up
tested the HDD-- fine -- still locking up
uninstalled the sound card -- still locking up
temp on cpu at 110- 120 F.
Temp in Box under 100 F
I am running in safe right now , going to test it in safe mode all day to see what will happen.


Any and all suggestion will Help.
Thank You Very Much

I think you can rule out CPU temperature as a problem, the max CPU temp for your CPU is 90 Celcius (194 F)

Has the mobo been overclocked via the BIOS or any voltages changed?if not then...

Swap the PSU with a new one or a known good one. There may be an intermitten voltage drop coming from the PSU.

Test the RAM for several hours:
