I am runing XP Pro including SP2 update.
Pent 3 800mhz 256mb 80gHD.
I have downloaded Skype tel software and find after talking for only 1 or
2minutes that the computer crashes to a blue screen with a message that
say's I have a hardware problem.
I have a SB16 soundcard runing of a dail up modem.
Tried un-install etc but to change.
Also with any other programs of the net that include sound I get the same
problem. I feel that it may
be a sound card problem but not sure.
Any ideas on this one.

If it's happening only with applications that use sound, then your guess is
pretty good. The first thing I'd do is go out and buy a new sound card (or
if you have one laying around or a friend that can lend you one) and try
replacing your Sound Blaster. Basic audio cards are cheap.
