Random Crashing Spree getting beyond a joke!

Hi,

I have a machine that is randomly crashing and windows doesnt always shut down, no sign of viruses and plenty of free space on the HDD, I Intend to re-install the machine from the ground up, any pointers to other potential causes?

Thanks
Steve.

do not run windows =) other than that, it sounds as if you just have a terrible install of the OS. Reinstall from the ground up, and you should be fine. If it weren't for users, computers would work just fine.

Burning the thing in my back garden also went through my mind but I came to my senses when the cost of replacement flashed through my head

If it weren't for users, computers would work just fine... If it weren't for customers work would be easy
