Dallen,

Could be a software problem too. Some programs replaces critical dll's making windows after a while quite unstable. Did you tried re-installing it from scratch ?

The home PC is a Pentium-133, 32M memory - nothing special, that I got at a local shop that builds custom systems. The most comon crash is a page fault or illegal operation in a file (often kernel32.dll or user.exe) at a specific memory location (usually prefixed with 0000: or 0137:) Some folks at the office suggest reseating the memory chips or even rotating them (upper to lower, etc).
