[PC freezes. any diagnostic tools for hardware?]

Hello ppl!!!

My PC freezes, for no special reason and I always have to reboot. I have just completed my WinXP reinstallation and unfortunately the same thing still happens.

Are there any diagnostic tools so as to examine my hardware thoroughly for failure issues?

[portcls.sys problem when installing Soundcard drivers]

Hello ppl!!

I'm getting a blue screen error stating portcls.sys whenever I try to install my Soundcard's drivers.

My hardware is up to date. Do you know what would be wrong??

I changed the PCI slot of the soundcard but the problem remains. My PC is

AMD 3200+*

Asus A8N-E mobo*

Asus N6600LE 256MB graphix card*

Kingston 2x1GB Ram*

80+120 GB HDD

Pulsar 2

CDRW Yamaha 8x

*The hardware followed by an asterisk (*) are brand new

I also disabled the mobo's soundcard.

Any help would be much appreciated.
