    How long does it take for windows to crash

    I had my old PC crashing about 3 minutes after pressing the power button. I messed with my setup. So now I can't get it to crash for about an hour after startup Although once I got it to crash after 5 minutes by opening and closing my e-mail program really fast

    I have an NT server that has been running without a crash for over 6 months and my Windows 2000 boxes are catching up on it too. My main system is a Win2K Pro and I havent had it crash since I built it and that was in December or January......I guess it depends what you are doing with them.....
