<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>for the last few days i have been getting the blue screen of death due to low system resources ALL the time. Atleast 4 times a day making me reboot and whatnot. I dont know what i recently installed to create such a leak but something is sucking all the life out of my computer. If i remember correctly i dont think XP has this problem.
Immediatey when i boot up i have like 70-75% resources available. After messing around the internet, playing with MusicMatchwith, watching a few replays on WC3, and doing things like that for only 10 minutes or so it will be down to like 60% resources (with no programs running, expect those in the BG) and the next thing i open will give me the screen of doom. Usually the error message will say something like "Norton AV cannot run due to low system resources".
I'm hoping a quick $100 XP Home upgrade installation will fix the problem...</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>after a little research it appears that runing below 50% is actually normal... i should only be getting the screen by being below 15%, i guess its a NAV problem, i should just uninstall it and get the latest version free from my college before they disallow me to,i'm no longer a student as of August</div>
