Chris, I had a combination of two problems. Adaware and 'spies' were slowing my pc way down and causing program crashes. I upgraded my spybot program and caught another 30 or so spy cookies.
But a real bug- a miller moth- was jammed in the cpu cooling fan- slowing or stopping it I don't know which, and was causing the whole pc to just stop and re-boot. We re-set the system temps in config-sys, so if it happens again, I'll get an alarm signal.
Everything up and running today- no shutdowns and real fast. I LIKE it!!!!
A big thanks to everyone that helped with advise! It all was useful.

gives me an
'illegal operation' code (about 3 times a day) and then shuts down-
sometimes just the program, sometimes the whole pc.
I had the same problem a little over a year ago, and then someone on this
list informed us about Spybot and Ad-aware. I don't remember who it was,
but thank you! After running both programs and deleting everything, even
from Microsoft, I re-ran the programs and found that several of those I
deleted were back! I then went into the temporary files and deleted them and then re-ran the programs. This time they were gone. I have not had the problem since. I now run both programs once a month. I don't know if that is your problem, but it's worth a try. I hope this helps.
