That list should give you some indication of the program that is causing 
the problem.

If it always occurs with only one program, uninstall then re-install that 
program.

Run Msconfig/Startup and disable all non-essential startup programs. There 
may be a conflict between 2 programs, so the less you have running in the 
background the more stable your computer will be.

Open Task Manager and check that System Idle is at about 95-99%. If not, 
check the CPU column to see what is consuming cpu cycles.

Assuming you are running XP, use System Restore to restore the system to an 
earlier date.

If you happen to have WindowsME, that behaviour was quite common, as it was 
quite an unstable system.
