Contrary to popular belief, Windows 95 does not replicate, however there
have been numerous copies replicated. Due to the inability to replicate it
can not truly be called a virus. Granted, if you count the number of
machines it is installed on, it is more prevalent than all of the wildlist
entries combined.

Seriously, Peter hit the nail on the head in his response when he wrote:

In addition to hardware problems, unsucessfull software uninstalls can cause
the problem as well.
Since I am not in tech support, I reccomend you contact MS tech support, or
if you have an OEM version, contact your vendor for assistance.

You might look at Tom's Hardware Guide. A while back he wrote about how
stable Windows 95 was on an Abit IT5H board. Perhaps he has some more
current recommendations for quality hardware.

I haven't tried any of the software aimed at preventing crashes and
diagnosing conflicts, but maybe someone here can suggest a product for your
use.
