My computer has been crashing continously for quite some time, and even if I use it, for about 50 mins there's bound to be a jam or something bad. Any ideas on solving it? I've tried defragmenting the disk, scanning everything.

OS continously Crashing
- Thread starter The Red Guy
- Start date
Win ME, 128 MB Ram and 20 GB hard disk.
time for a reformat I guess.
Well if you're using Win9x, there are bound to be crashes everytime.

Any other way? I don't want to lose all my files, although I can back-up. But it's gonna be messy, and things are bound to be lost.
I didn't get new hardware, except for a mouse.
Well, maybe try unintalling your new mouse, and see if that fixes, or format and reinstall. You should format and reinstall often, it will make a huge difference.
You may also check how many programs are running at startup, you can download some software off download.com to check that (or run that win 9X program that I forgot what it's called).

Strange, my mouse provided no software like the others. And what do you mean by formatting? Thanks!
Have you tried it? I don't have any problems with it crashing and I have used it for a long time.
It is probably some software conflict. Or too much running in the background. Use the msconfig and disable unnecessary files on startup as suggested.
As for formatting, that is something I would only do as a last resort. I haven't had to do it for over 2 years *touch wood*
Now it's better, but whenever I play graphically intensive games such as RTCW it jams!
