Other than the fact that your system is frighfully low on RAM (common cause of crashes and lockups) I can't see too much.
The clock sound as if it is trynig to poll an outside ersource, such as a network or time server?!? This may be due to a BIOS update or need of one.
I would recommend adding RAM (at least another 256) seeing as it is so cheap now and newer OS's are RAM pigs.

Does it ALWAYS crash on the same bingo site, or when you're doing other things too.

It sounds like it's having problems negotiting with the Bingo server or scripts. This could also be a RAM issue, first things first I guess.

Good luck,
OM
