Turn off all unesscessary services in your administrative tools/services. This will conserve on your ram, also try defragging your hard drive. Exactly what does the blue screen say? And what is the exact model and make of your motherboard? Try resetting your bios to defaults. Have you got the latest bios update?. Are you sure that the blue screen isn't caused by some other driver when trying to shut down?

Is your mobo a non-intel motherboard? If so, hunt around for patches for it. Also, I have no idea what peripherals you have running, so it is very difficult to give any idea about driver problems, etc... Maybe a little more detail about your system. BTW, IMHO 64mb will be somewhat sluggish with your system.

THouse guys at www.pcchips.com.tw make THE cheapest boards on the market. And u get what u pay for. Try flashing the bios, that could help, if that ain't ya problem then look in to getting an Asus or Abit
