Sounds like you've run out of memory perhaps...

I would look at boosting your PC's RAM.

Also, look at your Virtual Memory amount and consider changing it.

Before you even consider what virtual memory is, I want to make one thing clear:

Although this won't make your machine explode into a billion small pieces, it can be quite dangerous, so be careful.

1: Go to your Start Menu
2: Click on Control Panel
3: In Control Panel (in advanced view in XP) choose 'System'.
4: You'll notice some stats about your computer at the bottom. Note the amount of RAM on your PC (some may have been reserved for onboard graphics).
5: Click the 'Advanced' tab at the top.
6: In the 'Performance' group, click the 'Settings' button.
7: In the 'Performance Options' form just opened, click 'Advanced'.
8: Click 'Change' at the bottom of the screen.
9: Your 'Virtual Memory settings should be about 2-2.5 times the amount of RAM on your system. So, for example, if you have 512mb of RAM, then having 1024-1280mb of virtual memory is normal.
Please be aware, that for this to work properly, you will need a couple of gigs of free space on your hard drive for this to work.
10: Press the 'Custom size' radio button.
11: Enter a initial size which is approximately 2x your available RAM ('available' meaning, if you have 512mb, and 32 reserved for graphics, then your available RAM is 480mb).
12: Enter a maximum size which is about 2.5x your available RAM.
13ress 'Set'. A wait may occur while the system re-configures.
14: Press 'OK' and exit all of the system tabs.

You may need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Other things which could be done are:

<LI>Defragmenting the hard drive on a regular (weekly) basis.
<LI>Removing any excess porn videos on your hard drive.
<LI>Buying a better PC.

Hope this helps.

There are other possibilities, although somewhat remote. Data corruption of the db files might have occured. Although this should only crash the editor in a worst case and not the entire PC.

Judging by the fact that your entire PC crashes, I suspect that you are not using Windows XP as it's crash protection is quite handy and generally prevents crashing programs from taking the entire system down with it.

Just replace your db with the backup.

Er, go to the file where you installed the game and look in the data/db folder and there should be a backups folder. Copy and paste that into the directory above.
