Weird crashes with xp pro & sp2

[cheeze]

I'm having bizarre crashes with xp proffessional, my system just hangs in
random situations, like opening a new folder or in the middle of a game. This
lead me to believe that my ram was faulty but i checked it out and it was in
mint condition.
I have the newest directx, newest drivers for my agp card and for my
soundblaster, i have ran all updates but it still hangs in random situations
for no reason whatsoever, even in idle it can hang.
My hdd is also in good condition, formatted it a few days back and ran a few
diskchecks but nothing there.
I even checked the powersupply for faulty voltages but it was also in good
condition.
My airflow is also in mint condition since i've been planning to overclock a
bit, cpu around 44C max in load and case 30 in idle and 36 in load.

System specs:
NF7-S2 Mobo
768mb 400mhz ddr Kingston ram
Amd barton 3000+ (333mhz)
Connect 3d x800 Pro
Antec SmartPower ATX12V PSU 350W
Maxtor 120gb 7200rpm hdd and a cd-rw and dvd-rom
Windows XP & SP2 with all the updates

Any suggestions will be appreciated, I've tried just about everything i can
think of, from bumping up voltages to lowering them, playing around with ram
timings.. i can just cant solve this one.

Forgot to add that i've also checked the entire hdd for viruses, spyware and
adware, it was clean.
