Start from the basics. Verify the HD is okay.
In DOS, Run a virus checker to make sure there aren't any.
Uuse Simmtester.com DocMemory to verify the RAM is okay.
Run scandisk thorough overnight or over a couple hours to verify the HD is
okay.
The machine should not hang and should complete these w/o any problems. If
not, you can stop there and figure out what to do.
Otherwise, Windows is simply Windows.
For the depressing results, see Microsoft's own reliability studies:
http://www.microsoft.com/NTWorkstation/overview/Reliability/RelStudy.asp
http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS2000/guide/professional/solutions/overview/reliable/default.asp#muchmore
While they suggest 30% of Win95/98 users experience some sorta crash twice or
more each month, they really didn't say how many experienced at least one a
month or more -- my feeling is that it's probably 40-60% of users that do.
(Oh, well, back to DOS, which never bothered to crash at all...)
