I run WinXP SP1 + all the latest updates, and I have one *big* stability
problem, and that is when playing games.
Currently, the only thing that can bring my system down is a poorly
written game, usually if I'm playing a game, and something happens and
it lock up, it take my system with me.
How do I fix it?
I'm not talking about Unreal Tournament 2004 here, I'm talking something
simple like Breakout, that has been able to kill my system in a fairly
predictable way.

Why? A game is just a user application, after all. Why should it be able
to kill my system this way?
