very weird crashing glitch

SYS specs:

I use windows XP

55.2GB/80GB hard drive space

Video card: Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV

Resolution: 1152x864 On game: 800x600

RAM: 246 MB (this is the cause of my crashes)

Running apps: MSN messanger (background), server client



The error is as follows: After I crash, sometimes my screen is serverely glitched. The top half stretches over the btoom half and the middle of it is shaded. The curser acts like nothing is happening. I have to restart my comp to fix this, as navigating through windows to find a solution is very, very hard. I restart and teh screen is normal.

To help understand whats going on I made a graphic aid. I just added random things to it so dont take the normal screen part like something is wrong.

This does not happen 100% of the time. Please do not make your answer: "this comp sucks, get a job and buy a new one, you noob."

Thank you

I've encountered this before, but I've not found a good solution.

I had a rig exactly like that for awhile. Add another 256 or 512 ram, and you will be better...256 simply isnt enough if you have integrated.

Integrated? What do you mean

integrated graphics. 845 is really less than ideal for spring.
