The Dell from Hell

My work PC has been acting up. Well, it works fine most times but when I run a lot of applications for graphic work or web or publications, it has been crashing and freezing a lot and thus driving me bonkers. The machine is getting old but it is also a standard configuration which is fine for standard office document processing but woeful for the more power-sucking stuff I do. Fortunately, some new PCs are on order and mine has been suped up with more RAM which should help out immensely.
