Yes, you are running a program and many processes and one of those
programs and/or processes is crashing. There is no way that anyone
reading your post on a newsgroup can give you focused troubleshooting
from the information you provided. Here are some things for you to try:

1. Make sure the computer is completely virus and malware-free.

2. Do clean-boot troubleshooting.

3. Or if the above troubleshooting seems daunting, take the machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of
BigStoreUSA). There is no shame in doing this; I don't hesitate to take
my car to the mechanic when something is wrong with it.
