Some where, out there
Fresh install of windows XP Pro went on without a problem. Did a bunch of windows updates, and restarted the system, and now the system won't make it to the desktop before rebooting.

A64 3800 dual core
Gigabyte K8N SLI pro m/b (N-Force 4 chipset)
Gigabyte X800XL PCI-E gfx card
4x 512mb Kingston CAS3
Hitachi 160gb Sata drive

Any clues?
 
Have narrowed it down to some memory issue, just not sure what. Dropped one stick of corsair into it, and it's working fine. I'll finish all the updates, then try the kingston again. The memory is the same memory that was in my P4 system, so I know the memory itself is ok, just not sure if it's a Latency issue.
 
not as yet. Getting all the updates dowloaded and installed first, see if it's some weird windows thing. I've checked Kingston's website, and there's no problem with compatibility. I hadn't thought of the board increasing the memory speed if all four banks are populated.... will look into that. thanks for your replies, matey :)
