Random freezing

my computer had windows vista pre-installed in it, and it worked great, but I just didnt like it at the time because it was to slow (I had less ram at the time, bought more ram since) so That is why i converted it back to XP. My computer is only 2.5 years old, and my moms is over 3 yrs my sisters is 4 years old. According to the windows 7 upgrade check my computer passed system requirements.

And still freezing up, sometimes computer is just sitting there other times i am surfing the net IE or Firefox, so any suggestions now.

Besides the obvious fact that you are at the absolute minimum for RAM

There are several ways to find what the problem is. The best is to go into event viewer (type eventvwr in search). Go to the windows log>application tab.

You want to look for critical errors (they have red in the left column ).

When you find them you want to look for critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the problem.

When you find them please note the event ID, and the source codes and tell us what they are.

Let us know if you need help with any of this.

The program firefox.exe version 1.9.2.3855 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Possible Memory Leak. Application (C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNetworkRestricted) (PID: 1016) has passed a non-NULL pointer to RPC for an [out] parameter marked [allocate(all_nodes)]. [allocate(all_nodes)] parameters are always reallocated; if the original pointer contained the address of valid memory, that memory will be leaked. The call originated on the interface with UUID ({3f31c91e-2545-4b7b-9311-9529e8bffef6}), Method number (10). User Action: Contact your application vendor for an updated version of the application

nothing for crash/freeze etc.
