You have either a corrupt istallation of Windows or not enough RAM or you
are trying to run too many programs or the chipset timing is too aggressive
or you have poorly manufactured components or the HDD is incompatible with
the chipset on the mainboard or the drivers for your video display are
poorly written. MS does not produce faulty product - it is fully tested.
What one has to remember is that MS has created an OS that has to operate on
many different types of computer, some of which (claim to be) 100%
compatible and they are not.

A case in point is the Chinese manufacturer of mainboards containing SRAM
cache chips with absolutely no circuitry in them.

BTW, what is the axiom about a workman and his tools?
