More puzzling - I have just rolled back the driver on my Graphics Card to the last official one from Gigabyte (who made the card) rather than an official ATI one. Its dated last December but I've had no error messages from the card so far and my system boots up....but when I tried to use my NEC2500 DVD Burner to read a DVD the system crashed with a BSOD and said a device driver was at fauly. So maybe the problem is with the Burner, but I though drivers for optical units where built into Windows XP?

Thanks for the info on power supplies but want to avoid getting a new one if the fault lies elswhere!
