    i doubt that would solve the problem. so you tried to format and install a clean winxp? using the WinXP install disk, you can format it in the MS-DOS look alike screens. I don't see why it would have anything to do with Home Edition.
    also maybe run memtest to test that new ddr ram you put in. sometimes bad ram can cause problems.
