Turn off the XP firewall if you have another installed. If that does
not work, turn ON the XP firewall and then remove (add-remove programs)
the EZ firewall and anti-virus. Maybe that will get the computer
stabilized. BTW, remove the computer from any internet connection until
you get this fixed if you do not have all of the recent XP security
updates.

Also, it is generally understood that driver updates from Microsoft
should be accepted with caution. If updates are available from the
device vendor, use those first or don't update at all.
