Hopefully you will not get an error message (a.k.a. Stop Message with a code
like 0x000008E). If you write down the message and post it here perhaps we
can offer a solution.

Is there a pattern here? For example, are you always using IE when it
crashes? If yes, does it crash while a new web page is being launched?

Also, I would check Event Viewer if I were you.
Go to Start > Run and type
eventvwr.msc
click OK

Now check the trees for Application and System and look for any entries
flagged as errors with a red X.

Also check Device Manager for devices flagged as bad.

Try Safe Mode (tapping F8 a few times while booting). While there check for
viruses and spyware. Then boot in normal mode.

If you have your XP CD-ROM and your PC will keep from crashing for a while,
then run System File Checker

1) Insert your WinXP installation CD

2) Then go to Start > Run and type
sfc /scannow
click OK
