Install a more powerful power supply.
The current power supply is under powered so installing an enhanced power supply should fix the problem
Or it could be any other random bad hardware. Start with a memory test program first, as it doesn't involve needlessly buying random parts. You can make a bootable CD-ROM or bootable floppy via that link. Let it get to Pass: 5 before hitting escape. It should take up to 2 hours to get that far.
Also, what kind of crash is it? Does the program crash? Does Windows reboot instantly? Is there a blue screen of death?
Configure your computer to create crash dumps:
Start > Run > control sysdm.cpl,,3 > Startup and Recovery > Settings > uncheck "Automatically restart" and set "Write debugging information" to "Small memory dump (64 KB)". The dump directory is usually set to %SystemRoot%\Minidump
If you find any files in C:\WINDOWS\Minidump after getting a blue screen of death, PM me and I'll tell you where you can email them so I can debug them and find out what's wrong.
