One possible clue to 'fatal crashes in Windows XP'

I have a question about Top
reasons for random, fatal crashes in Windows XP and Windows 2000:
I've just read the lament of an IBM T23 owner whose laptop seems to run a CONVERT
upon shutdown/restart. The T23 I'm borrowing does the same thing, but then the hard
drive continues to
run vigorously until it appears to destroy critical OS files, and will not reboot!
Then I must run the Product
Restore (F11 at boot-up), which takes about an hour to complete, restoring the computer
(supposedly) to a factory state. Each initial first use is then OK, but when I shut
it down and turn it on for a second use, it again starts converting to NTFS at boot-up
(and eats its own OS files!) What's going on here? It's an endless, viscious cycle;
I'm afraid to shut it down, so I just use Hibernate. HAALP!
