Bob, my LightRoom crashed several times like a program would normally crash - displaying this standard dialog and then just close. It never made my whole PC hang. However I usually run LR alone - nothing else is running at the same time. Also I have asked my brother (a professional sys. admin) to take out all unnecessary parts of Windows, like redundant services, etc. So when my computer boots up, it only takes order of 80 Mb of RAM. I suggest you try to do the same.
As for the internet - I am running from behind the router (very cheap Netgear piece) so that I don't need a software firewall. Also, routinely I don't have a resident anti virus program. I run it occasionally manually. Also of course checking your hardware for possible malfunction due to age or dust is a good idea. Also be sure to check the internal fans of your PC. Cheers.
