I have a dual boot system with windows xp and ubuntu and of late the pc starts freezing randomly when running windows xp.
I have tried re-installing windows xp many times and have also tried changing the add-on card positions in the motherboard for any conflicts. I have also updated the drivers for all to the latest versions.
But the same problem does not occur while running ubuntu.
Is there anyway by which I can find out the root cause of this problem?
PC config.:
Intel P4 2.4GHz, 865GBF motherboard with 1GB RAM.

1. XP does not come with all the drivers required. Plus there are many other things that causes pauses (not freezes) that we can chat about.
2. Hard lockups are caused by CPU cooling issues and while I read "But Linux.." we know to pull the heatsink and refresh the compound. Example at ->>>>http://forums.cnet.com/7723-6122_102-523541.html?tag=threadListing;forum-threads
3. Then we have malware. I like Grif's advice such as http://forums.cnet.com/7726-6132_102-5098912.html?tag=posts;msg5099421

Did you try getting the help of a computer technician? I guess, the best idea is to head straight to the nearest manufacturer's support center in order to provide the best solutions for your problem.

Sadly, with one rare exception with a HP laptop that has a BIOS flaw I'm yet to head straight to such support.
