I have a dell xp professional 2003. It's used for the home...nothing special. I have had security put on and use name brand protection, email, etc. But my computer crashes all the time and I end up calling dell to fix it! Now I'm thinking about getting a new computer...what is the best one I can get that will not crash all the time?

Nothing is crash-proof. It depends a lot on how it is being used, the software involved, etc. If your machine started crashing recently think back to what changes were made at that time. It is also possible that you have a lot of malware inspite of having anti-virus programs (which don't do much for malware) running. Try downloading and running Ad-Aware SE, spybot and Windows defender (all free) and see if that makes a difference. A different answer mentioned ram - very true, for XP you need a minimum of 128 - 512 would be much better. You also need hard drive space for what used to be called the swap file - if your dive is so loaded that you have less than 1G of open space - that is one of the reasons you are crashing.

smgray99 is correct. It's not the model of computer that's causing it to crash, it's what's installed. Malware, Spyware, virii, or just plain badly written software.
