The PC shop installed XP onto my 120GB hard drive. I took it home. It’s working beautifully. I install the basics: Office and Outlook. I’m rebuilding my directories from my backups. I’m on the phone for a minute so I know my hands are off the keyboard, and Boom, it goes to black and reboots.

I have the minimal peripherals plugged in: USB mouse and USB keyboard, ethernet cable, monitor. I am running a minimal set of stuff. No virus protection, no ad blockers, no fancy dancy drivers. And yet I still got a big, scary crash. It’s a new motherboard and RAM.

Suggestions other than to get a Mac? I’m at my wit’s end. (Fortunately, that’s a short walk for me.)
