I had this problem today. For me, it seems to be hardware, or the base install of the OS. (Win95b)
Mine is either a bad motherboard design, SDRAM memory that won't keep up (but designed to),
cheap MB L2 cache that was marginal to begin with, or a bad CPU.

If you give the list more details, maybe they can help more.  Which VXD's?  How many programs?

This question may have been asked before but as usual it seems to keep coming up and I can't seem to get an answer that is quite
satisfactory.
I have some machines that just keep crashing and coming up with vxd faults showing. This happens even with a clean reinstall of 95
or 98 after repartitioning and format.
The question is: Is this a hardware or software fault. I believe it's a hardware fault but keep getting arguments that it's a
software fault.
Can someone put a bit of light on this question?
