I know it's trendy among people who try to appear to be knowledgeable about computers to blame every problem on Windows and then recommend switching to their pet OS, but believe it or not there *are* other things that can cause programs to crash. Most of these types of problems I've dealt with were actually caused by cheap motherboards or flaky power supplies.
My XP machines usually go for a month or so between reboots. And on the other hand I've run Linux on computers with crap hardware, and it'd randomly crash all the time too.

Totally off topic, but A buddy of mine runs a linux webserver on a P.O.S. Computer the he literally picked up off the side of the road, its running a cryix 233Mhz processor and god knows what else, and its only crashed when the UPS died on it
. Seems to me OS die more often from improper configuration or simply bad code in the OS itself. Rarely does Hardware cause a crash.
Back on topic.
I wont repeat the multitude of advice thats been given to you already. I will however sympathize with you.
That totally sucks the big one man.
