No Way!
First of all, I am a computer technician / consultant and I see A LOT of
Win95,98,NT,Unix/Linux,Dos,etc.. machines..
In my experiences, Win 95, and 98 crash the most with or without DJGPP.
On my computer, I have a 4 gig and a 1 gig drives multi-booting with Linux,
Win95 OSR2, and True DOS 6.22
Once again, the Win95 partition crashed the most...even before I put
DJGPP... Dos only crashed when I poke around some unknown memory areas
programming games but that is my fault...other wise it is VERY stable..
Oh, I have YET to see Linux crash no matter what I do... go figure..
Anyway, to answer your question...it sounds like a hardware problem.. do
you have a lot of conflicting devices in your device manager???
