Reseat all components especially memory and hard drive connections.
Verify memory sticks are compatible.
Try using one stick of memory and then swap if it still freezes (new
memory may be bad)

Try these:
Run an updated virus scan.
Run Disk Cleanup checking all boxes.
Run Scandisk, check "Thorough" and "Automatically fix errors"
Run Defrag.
If you have file sharing software such as Kazaa, disable it.
Check this link:

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:

Or

If those fail, I suggest you visit the Windows ME newsgroup.

Maybe the new harddrive is empty. Have you put any programs on the new
harddrive yet?
