When a had a similar problem, I prefered to: 1. Install Ubuntu (instead of Win). 2. Install VirtualBox. 3. Install Win XP on a virtual machine in the VirtualBox, on Ubuntu. Pros: Anytime that Win crashes, I return to a previous point (image) in the virtual machine in the VirtualBox. Cons: A little bit slower (but a I equalize that by do not using an antivirus and etc., because when I had a problem, I return to a previous state (image) before the problem. Best regards, Rafael.
