Computer Freezes/BSOD woes

Turn off the automatic reboot on BSOD and write down the BSOD message. Then post it here.

How ya doing, buddy?

Seems to me like a driver problem or maybe also memory corruption. Tried scanning the memory with memtest86 yet?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Indeed there is no version of memtest86 that will work under any operating system. Just use a Knoppix disc or a gentoo minimal install disc. The bootloader allows to select the memtest86 os.

I don't see any connections from the drivers causing the BSOD and the graphics subsystem. tcpip.sys is part of the network system and win32k.sys is generic.

You did a bootup with protocol creation?

While I wait for that memtest or whatever, Im downloading a new copy of XP Pro on another computer.

You know that you're wasting your time installing software over and over again if the problem is faulty hardware? Check the memory, check the cpu (with something like prime95), the harddrive (using the tool of you choice or the tool you hd vendor provides) and the gfx card.
You say you've another computer, then you can check the components there. memory and hd can be tested without installing an os, so do this first. I know its really frustrating, but its even more frustrating if you install everything again and again and the system fucks up your installation after some hours.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I just wanted you to know that memory support on AMD processors has always be a slight problem after they integrated the memory controller directly into the CPU. The RAM I bought at first was high quality TwinMOS, two modules for dual channel support. I wasn't able to get them to run in dual channel, they even didn't work when dual channel was of. Only after reducing the pseudo-FSB (which didn't really exist at this time anymore) to half of the specified value and only using one of the modules the system worked. The integrated memory controller has always been quite picky when it comes to RAM. I know the situation has improved, but maybe you problem is general incompatibility between the RAM modules and the cpu's mem-controller.
If the Corsair modules are still in your reach you could try testing them on another board.
