Please help me. I originally purchased a KT600 Ultra Platinum only to
find that there was an incompatability with my ATI All In Wonder 9600
XT card. I replaced the motherboard with a Soyo Dragon 2 KT880 ver 2
and upgraded the memory. Now when I am in Explorer surfing or in
Outlook scrolling through my messages the video goes black. It appears
that the machine is still on but I can not get the screen to come back
on without rebooting the computer. It also happens when I am in Forte
Agent newsreader scrolling through the message lists. Here are the
specs on the system:

Dragon 2 KT880 Ver. 2
Athlon 3200 XP Processor with Cooling Fan (Turbo Cool)
(2) 512 DDR Value Ram 3200 (400MHz) by Kingston in slots 1 and 3
ATI All-In-Wonder Pro 9600 XT
80GB Western Digital IDE
80 GB Maxtor IDE
200 GB Hitachi SATA on SATA1
TDK CDRW 32
IOMagic 12x DVDRW
USRobotics winmodem
400 Watt Power Supply (Enermax)
D-Link DI-624 Wireless Router
Soyo Bayone Extreme breakout box.

Running Windows XP with Service Pack 2

These are the primary componants. The system boots and there are 3 long
beeps then 1 short beep followed by 1 long beep on the post. It boots
up fine into XP. Everything looks and runs well .

Now after the system runs for a while the minute I make a selection
with the mouse or scroll through the mail in Outlook or do a scan in
Adaware SE the computer just shuts down and reboots. The reboots are
very random but almost always while I am clicking or scrolling on the
internet, through my messages in outlook, or scrolling through the
messages in Forte Agent ver 1.91.

On occasion I get an error message that the occasional BSOD is caused
by a Device Driver. The second Message states that it was caused by a
graphics device driver and the third message states that it was caused
by an unknown device. I never have a productive session on this machine
and all indications are that it is either a motherboard, memory or
graphics card issue.

Memory is 2 Kingston Value ram 512 located in 1 and 3 to get the DDR2
functionality (Can I put them in slots 1 and 2 and what is the effect
of this?)

If I do a scan from Lavaware Adaware SE it comes up clean when I do a
scan by Spybot Search and Destroy it crashes before it completes.

Is it the mouse? Motherboard? Videocard? Memory? USB2.0 ports? Please
help.
