I have a Cyrix 266 on a TX Pro II motherboard, 32 megs of EDO RAM, 3.2 gig
HD, onboard video and sound, Windows 95.

        So far I am averaging about 3 or 4 fatal "Blue Screen of Death" crashes a
day.  I bought it as a second computer for my kids to play games on.  So
far we have not installed anything that would push the hardware
limits.......no accelerated 3D games or the like.  Most of the stuff has
been educational games like Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego, Kid Pix, etc......

        Nothing I have tried so far has been able to keep the system from
crashing.  And we are not just talking crash and reboot.......we are
talking crash, lock up, destroy Windows drivers files, refuse to reboot...

        I have reloaded the OS on this machine 5 times (including 2 total
reformats of drive C......starting right from scratch).......and now today
it has crashed and burned again and I am going to have to do a complete
reload again.

        Is this common with games for them to blow up and eat chunks of the OS for
lunch?

        Anybody have any idea as to where to start trying to trouble shoot
something like this?
