Very frustrating problem

[John Dierks]

Shuttle SV24 running WinXP pro 950 Celeron

computer is:
-Always crashing when I start to type a URL.

-Crashing intermittently when navigating through windows

-Everything runs fine in 'Safe Mode with networking'

-512MB RAM is brand new and high quality, as that is what I thought the
problem was before, so I replaced it

-Windows XP is freshly formatted and installed with all updates performed.

-When it crashes the video dies and needs to be hard rebooted. No windows
BSOD or errors. Just black screen.

-Everything looks in order in the Device manager. No yellow ? or red !.

-The BIOS has been reflashed to the most recent version (fv24stvj)

-All drivers and windows update are updated.

-----------
Now errors are occurring in the 'Application' portion of event viewer such
as:

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine
CoCreateInstance. hr= 0x80040206

and

The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal
processing. HRESULT was 8007043C from line 44 of
d:\nt\com\com1x\src\events\tier1\eventsystemobj.cpp
------------

I'm most confused as to why everything runs fine in Safe Mode, but not
normally.

Please help!

For what ever reason, windows started up in 640x480, and when I tested,
everything ran fine. I put 2 and 2 together, and realized that it was safe
mode setting the video to 640x480 that made it stable.

On-board video sucks.

Yey!

Thanks everyone!
