Regular crash

Any ideas please? My machine runs well for about 3 hours. After that time my browser crashes, will not reopen or indeed will not allow me to open any progs without a reboot. Using XP.
Thanks in advance.

    Could be a hardware issue.

    Try cleaning the cooling fans on the CPU, video card and any others in there.

    The power supply tends to be a sealed box. That said, if it's XP it is probably not new. Try opening it up and cleaning that too.

    Also follw the advice from Closer (above).
