I have the exact same problems when doing things from accessing a 3D home design program to executing a patch for a game. My XP is a fresh install from 2 months ago. It is one of two things:
the OS itself or memory.
One other question: what type of video board do you have? Mine is Voodoo 3 2000, and it is bad, causing all kinds of crashes.

Go to start, right click on my computer. properties, system properties, advanced, startup and recovery, settings and take the check mark out of autorestart. When it blues screens send back the stopp error msg and we will see what we can do.

I myself have the same motherboard setup, I found that a fresh install is best, video card can make a difference. My video card is a Geforce MX400/64. Did your read the "Event viewer" to find out what exactly is happening. Usually when I have issues, I go into the "Computer Management" under Setting/Contro Panal/Admin Tools. It has been very helpful.
