My PC runs fine when doing everyday tasks such as web browsing, word processng, images, etc. However, rarely the program (such as PSP) crashes, but this has happened only three times in about 500 launches. It occurs when I just select a button - any button - such as the picture tubes or whatever.
Next up, a use a database program called 4D - the thing is, it too crashes after lauching, but only when it is the first program loaded straight after Windows.
Onto games. When loading games, there are times when nothing happens - yes, I have double clicked on the icon, and there is a small amount of disk activity - all it takes here is another double click and it sometimes work. It's a problem as such, but it is getting on my nerves.
Finally, onto the games (we're talking full screen ones)themselves - sometimes, I can load the game, and it plays fine up to a certain point - and then the game just freezes, with a reset the only option. Other times, the game freezes, but the sound makes a continual high pitched noise as well, piercing my eardrums in addition to p***ing me off.
So, can anyone suggest what's happening here? I'm beginning to think it has a conscience and wants me only to do serious stuff like programming.

What are the full system specs?
It could be a compatibility problem between the system spec and windows. This might be coz u used parts from ur old comp or coz u haven't got the necessary system requirements. XP is very unstable n e way but there shudn't be freezing unless ur system resources are being used up. I reckon theres a hardware to software compatibility problem somewhere...
Hmm what specs..
XP. It's not new, although the problem did start with this computer.
The graphics card, sound card, HD, CDRW can't be blamed - they all worked fine in my old one.
