All I do is crash.

Really. Used to be every couple hours or so, I'd crash to desktop or sometimes the whole box would reboot. After the voice update (which I haven't used, in case that matters), I crash every 30 minutes, sometimes as quick as every 5. And my entire machine always goes with it.

This is so old already.

System:
XP Service Pack 2
AMD 64
1Gig RAM


Any ideas? I've tried turning my settings down to laptop quality and it made no difference.

Since you said that you are using old system it is possible that you are seeing first symptoms of hw failure of some sort.

Are you sure that your system is not overheating?
Have you checked that all memory is still good?
Have you checked that your HDD is not rotting?

I tried it all, and what finally worked was wiping my machine completely and reinstalling XP fresh. Weird. Thanks for the help!
