Off topic warning About windows XP

I got a Dell cpu going on 2 yrs now.. The windows xp was the newest thing at the time and still is kinda. Any way a warning is that if you carry windows xp 3yrs or more you may want to update with a newer version because it will crash. Mine has done it twice, one time i thought something else was wrong and reloaded the old version again. well the other day i got the bad blue screen that tells you to go in on safe mode but of course nothing happens. Well called Dell and that sent me the updated version that I though the service pacII would update but does not really do anything but re-aranges some things to confuse you for a little while.Got the new one installed has better spy ware protection i might add.. Butt all the good info i had stored from this site is now gone so must do more hunting to get it back I guess... Hope this helps some of you cpu guys out there.
