Either way it's probably a heat/power issue....
Or a case of heat triggering a symptomatic response from a faulty component....
Christian Comment by Christian on January 17, 2009 at 6:07pm
Is it a Desktop or laptop? if it's a desktop I'd say Flash your Bios....
That means unplug the computer completely... open it up... find the little battery (The size of a watch batter) on the motherboard... take it out for a couple minutes.. put it back in... put the case back on... and power the boy up and see if that solves the problem... if it doesn't then it's down to a couple possible problems.
My expert opinion is that the problem is either
1. Your system is underpowered... If anything was added or upgraded then perhaps your power supply is insufficient at providing power for everything... If you are still using all factory parts then this is probably not as likely....
2. Heat... if your processor is overheating... it could cause some serious issues with performance... Most PC's will either shut down or show serious fault errors when the processor overheats....
or 3. Bad RAM... Your computer tests your RAM when it is turned on... and so I'm sure the test is saying the ram is fine... but as the computer runs... and gets warm... some bad RAM only messes up at hotter temps so that could definitely be your problem....
Either way...

There are only 3 possible problems though.....
So also.... I'll need you to include as much about your system as you can....
the Dell model number.... but thats not enough... Dell is so customizable that model numbers are no longer indicative of the exact specs on your system.
The Processor (i.e. Intel Core 2 duo Qxxx or AMD Athlon X2 2.4GHz) where X = the exact model number....
Type of motherboard (i.e. Asus XXX-XX)
Amount of ram... and if possible... what brand... what configuration and how many sticks and how are they allocated
It will read in your spec sheet like this (Corsair 2 x 1024 DDR2 566Mhz)
Wattage of Power supply (i.e. 350 watt... 400 watt....)
Have you added any hardware or upgraded anything at all since you bought the computer?
When did you buy the computer?
was Vista preinstalled or did you upgrade to it?
What version of Vista are you using?
I know it seems like a lot of questions but a full history will not only speed up the differential but is the only way to really diagnose the problem
Christian Comment by Christian on January 17, 2009 at 5:47pm
Here is what I need you to do.....
Copy the error message (You might have to use a pen and paper.. I know.. feels archaic using paper) word for word... letter for letter.... There will probably be an exception code or error code... copy every letter.... these random letters are used to specifically identify the problem.... My email is R3altruth@yahoo.com.... but I encourage you to actually start a discussion where you put the full error message....
The problem is "Appcrash" is a pretty broad term and so the full error message will shed more light on the problem

Ukarema Beatz Comment by Ukarema Beatz on October 31, 2008 at 11:07pm
Over 5,000 city employees. But I don't manage them all. They are segmented off to different parts of the county. I.E Waste Management, Public Transportation, Parks & Recreation, Clerk of Courts which is what I manage....etc.
