@acidtone... Was so fun, made me feel intelligent!

@IknowNot... I Have 3 IDENTICLE pc's in this here house. Same MOBO (D865 Perl), same processor chip, same size HD, and same verison OS. Only thing different in each of them was how they connect to the internet. 2 were hardwired and the 3rd was moved to the basement where Wireless would be a must. I bought the dlink for it... and shortly after things were freezing... It didnt dawn on me though it could be the adapter.

I swaped it out of all 3 PC's and tried many agp slots. On all PC's they all freezed.

The only thing that threw me off was how one of the PC's overheats very frequently and shut off. I couldnt determine the difference there.

I have never heard that msinfo32 command... i wonder if that would of saved me a lot of time and hassel?
