Okay, this is pretty unusual. Ever since working through the latest batch of MS updates, my XP machine has started randomly locking up. Everything freezes completely, and it then requires a hard reboot.
The only clue I've come across as to what's causing this: if I disable my network connection, the lockups still happen but the machine recovers after 6 or so seconds. I've scanned for viruses and spyware, and, as far as I can tell, am clean. I've also spent some 2 straight days running memtest86 without any errors or lockups.
I'm a little stumped. Any ideas?
Edit: Okay, so that was a little short on detail, but I'm just wondering if anyone's come across anything like this recently.
