Hmmm?? A page fault is not a "crash". The things I usually suspect first are memory, power supply and cooling. MemTest86 http://www.memtest.org/ is a good exerciser / diagnostic for memory and the related chips & buses. Download the iso, burn it, boot it, run it. The other stuff I don't have any easy suggestions for, but memtest is a good start. -RW
