XP Pro Motion Delay

[fanghua]

i have xp pro, p4 1.7g, 512 sdram. after i preform some action like click a button something, or regular use of computer, sometimes, the screen freezes for 5 seconds and it could happen a couple times a day, after freeze, it seem to resume what it is doing. windows 2000 works fine in this machine. it is ecs motherboard.

also, sometimes when the machine just got turn off, all the 512 RAM don't get detected. I had to shut it down for a minute for all the RAM to be recognized. is it because of hardware conflict? anyway to check conflict anything?
