    right-click my computer and click manage.
    go to event viewer > application
    see if it created any errors before it crashed, also check the system log 2 down from that one, see if a system error happens.

    Also, did you check to see that you don't have software conflicts?

    damn... i didnt know that hp sucked that much... what my brother said the program could have a problem...(i got it from bitcomet) so, maybe i can download a new copy and see if it works right... i checked the requirements of adobe premiere and its when you're working with hi def videos that you need a 3.4ghz processor and a 1gig of memory... so it could be the software...i mean, other than the premiere problems im having its a great pc... pretty damn fast... it never crashed other than with adobe premiere...

    My guess would have been an E Machine. :)

    If you cannot fix the problem with the system log, as much as it sucks, wipe, and re-install... Then Baseline it and patch it up.

    the new emachines are rated as higher than dells. it's only the old ones that suck, my old computer was a 1st gen eTower.. everything broke.
