Logs look fine (Suprisingly)
The only thing of note was Ashampoo ~
Defragmentation-Service (DfSdkS) - mst software GmbH, Germany - C:\Program Files\Ashampoo\Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2010 Advanced\Dfsdks.exe
Its a VERY poor registry cleaning program so theres every chance its removed something it shouldnt have
I would recommend RESTORING 'ALL' of everything its ever removed and uninstalling it
You can use CCLEANER in its place (Far safer)
Does the crashing happen at any particular time or it it purely random?
Im thinking its probably hardware related:idea:0 -

You've got the minimum amount of RAM needed to run XP. I would up that 512MB to 1GB or 1.5GB regardless of any other problems.

Not technically correct, I actually had a pc with 64 Mb in it that ran XP (incredibly slowly)
