that should only occur when an internal error checking routine fails.

it's surprising it happened so fast after a restart. if the computer isn't overclocked or otherwise unstable, i'd check for a virus.

what processor do you have and what motherboard/mem combo do you have?

It's not OCed. XP1700 on a new ABit AT7 Max. 256 mb of Crucial PC2100. I rebooted and it ran. Very weird:) And Email is disabled on this box. No viruses.

I just posted it to see what the heck it was.
