bbgold: You did not say what OS you were using.

But, if it was 9x, it sounds like you just ran out of resources. 6 windows open at one time, including chat, which uses a lot or resources, is a lot.

If your motherboard uses the Via KT133A chipset, you might also want to download the latest 4-in-1 drivers at http://www.viahardware.com/download/index.shtm#4in1

That might help with the stability. However, if you really want to do that kind of multitasking I suggest Win2K.

I would also suggest that you run ScanDisk from within Windows. Then shut down normally, and restart.
