You are jumping to conclusions; crashes on W2K look very different
(the DOS box itself crashes, not the DJGPP programs).

Please post the description of your system hardware and software: the
machine vendor and type, OS and version, AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS,
the works.

It is not required to do all that: the crashes indicate some serious
system hardware or software configuration problem.

Do you per chance overclock your CPU, or set some aggressive CPU
caching options in the CMOS setup?
