For both PC's please try the following:
1. Try swapping out the memory with some that is known good.
2. Turn off any disk cache software, this might prevent lost of files,
        will defiantly free memory for os.
3. Verify the hard drive is not going bad (scandisk reports bad sectors).
        You may want to find a 3rd party disk util for this.

Not an answer, but another symptom:

on a pentium-133, 16meg, which is mostly used for games, frequent
game crashes ripe out chunks of c:\windows, and only diskedit helps, with 16
files lost forever. 1) Anyone knows why? 2) any other method of restoring
files
that are wiped clean from their dirs?
