Friends, nowadays it is not new if any PC crashes, with or without a reason. But would you like to share your reason of crashing PC. Was it a virus, hardware failure, or software failure? Lets discuss in detail.

After I Installed AVG 8.0 in XP SP2; problem solved after installing SP3.

Also My laptop crashed when I tried to install Ubuntu in it. Obsolete hardware? Dunno.

Last crash was about two years ago due some virus I think i.e. when I HAD winxp.. That virus had eaten the hal.dll file i think. Since then I have junked windows and using Fedora (from v6 to v9-current.. used all of them).

no crashes after reverting back to genuine SP3
can't believe Win has not yet crashed.
