Random BSODs...
Maybe people should buy this ftp program :) I didn't buy it till awhile after I got it. . . and 878 is the latest build for V2 RC3.

Hi - I'm struggling to get to the bottom of a Blue Screen of Death problem I'm having at the moment. Randomly, Windows XP will freeze and display a BSOD that reads "***Hardware Malfunction".
The problem is pretty random and hard to replicate, but seems to be more likely to occur if I run Photoshop or Illustrator (versus just using Firefox, Outlook and Word as is normal for my computer). It also gets more frequent if I use eDonkey - possibly due to CPU load...? Any ideas? Does Photoshop/Illustrator use RAM or CPU in an unusual way that could help isolate the problem? I've run Memtest and my DDR module seems ok..

any chance to get the error/stop code?
0x00000079 or something?

I think I've tracked the problem down to some generic RAM... it's been running fine in the system for about a year, but now that I've replaced it with Crucial the crashes have become far less frequent/stopped altogether (fingers crossed!)
Anyone want to buy a 512MB stick of DDR2700...? :)
