My old PC (also running Windows XP) at home was recently crashing left and right. I installed SpeedFan to display CPU and motherboard temperatures - it indicated the Pentium 4 CPU was running at 72C, which is its limit.
I removed the CPU heatsink, vacuumed out all the mounds of dust, replaced it, and shuffled cables around for better airflow.
Result: CPU runs at 50C, and the computer is 100% stable.
