I am using NetBeans 4.1 for my university course (this is an older version, but is the required version for the course - I can't use a newer version).

Whenever I use it for longer than several minutes, my computer crashes - it either reboots or I need to reset it.

I have tried running with all startup items disabled (to rule out other applications interfering with the app), but it did no good.

I have used Sysinternals procmon logging and the logs are corrupt - the only way I was able to get a good log was by enabling boot logging. However these are huge and I don't know what to look for.

I am using Windows XP SP3, fully patched up and this is the only application that I have any kind of problem with.

Can anyone suggest troubleshooting steps that will help me pinpoint the cause of these crashes and fix them?
