internet. Ran a few loop test (prime 95 + directx game + video running) for several hours which went fine. Tried to use windows update and the computer froze. When I pressed reset, in the boot screen (text screen before HD access to winxp) I got this DMA CONTROLLER FAILURE FATAL ERROR message. I suspect it's the motherboard. Any ideas ?

Most likely a motherboard fault, although not necessarily the DMA controller itself - could be a symptom brought on by bad capacitors (motherboard or PSU). Check motherboard for signs of bad caps, & try another PSU to eliminate that as a cause.

Replaced memory moudle (ddr400) and it seems to work fine for the past few hours. Will return it to the client so she can work few days on it and let me know if it's fine.
