Post by: Virgin Serbia on June 15, 2008, 02:13:34 pm: About once a year, or less. HP Pavilion laptop, XP. Its about 2 years old.

Me second laptop is even better. Bought it in 2000, and i have used it for 3 years in Africa, some hours in Swissair MD11s, and the remainder of the time in Denmark. It has not crashed for ages.

I'd recommend re-formatting. Of course it takes time to back up all important stuff and get your computer back to the way you want it, but it dramatically improves things if your computer is causing problems.

Also, are you overclocking? Do you have a proper PSU? Does your computer crash under stress or just about anytime it feels like?
