Download the Ultimate BootCD. Run Memtest86+. See if that gives us indication of a memory issue. Then run the CPU burn-in test to see if you can get it to freeze. If both tests show OK, it may be hard drive or driver related.
so which of these do i d/l? http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

It's not even going to websites after a while of use now.All it says is "this page cannot be displayed"

Ok,so what's the proper name for the disc i need to "straighten out" XP and still be able to keep my stuff? Or is there a better way? I'm tired of this.When it freezes, i always have to turn off and start over.

I finally did a scan with my expired copy of counterspy and this is what i got,Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT.Would this be some of my problems?

That one.

As far as XP repair install, you need an XP CD.

It's a CD ISO image.

checked my ram 1gb, and one of them gets a lot hotter than the other one.

Run Memtest86+ from the UBCD (as linked above). See if it fails.

No, it shouldn't be getting hot like that if the other stick isn't.

I've just erased adaware 7 and it seems to run better.It seems that it was running in the background without doing anything.A few sites even complain about this.
