OK, here is my setup:

Windows XP RC2
Athlon T-Bird 1.4Ghz
1.0GB PC133 RAM
ECS K7VZA (Intergrated Audio...which sucks!!!)
VIA KT133A (I think...)
ATI RAGE 128
3COM NIC
Seagate 40 GB (2 partitions - C:\WixXP & D:\mp3 and video)
Sony CD-RW 12x8x32x
Pine 52x CD-ROM (Sounds like a fighter jets afterburners are at full blast!!!)

Now here is the problem:

When ever I try to record a CD from either CD-ROM/RW to the harddrive or transfer a large amount of files (mp3's from previous harddrive) my PC BSOD's with serveral kinds of errors some are IRQ related others are PageFile.sys related. But it only happens when I transfer/record files to the harddrive. I tried installing the new 4 in 1 V1.33 drivers, but that didn't help!!! Any ideas?

This is my first time dealing with AMD/VIA and I'm not liking it at all!!!!

If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0

I FIXED IT!!!!

I replaced XP with 2000 and now everything works like a charm. It seems XP doesn't support my mobo. I paid a visit to ECS's website and looked at their messageboard and a lot of people with XP are having problems so I decided to step back to 2000 and everything is working fine and a bit faster I must say!!!
