Thanks for your responses, guys. The problem was that the box was actually on its last legs. Probs with motherboard, fans, cpu,, I managed to clean up the hd, took it out, bought a Pentium iii running Win2000 and everything is back to normal, no crashes at all on any of my machines. Life is...

Hey guys I got Opera. Works like a charm, and hasn`t crashed once in 3 hours. Your suggestions are appreciated

Thanks guys I tried Opera way back, maybe its time to have a second look. As for Galeon, one of the requirements is Gnome > 1.20. Well I don't like Gnome or KDE (too bloated) and the version of Gnome that I have installed is < 1.20, so I guess I will have to decide if its worth upgrading for...
