I'm eyeing on Celereron, but no idea, maybe it does something silly running FCEU. Check to see if FCEU is not running on High / Real-time priority?

How can it your computer? Seriously, I doubt it's FCEU's fault. It might be some hardware or software problem. Did you try some 3d games and they happen to crash? 3d games, modern preferred, are really good to test if a computer is stable or not. Is there any other software that occasionally crash?

I have almost the exact same machine, and FCEU has never crashed on me. Could be a configuration issue- maybe you should delete fceu98.cfg and see if the default settings are any better?

Vista Ultimate, 1.5GB of RAM, 2.0 GHz AMD Mobile Sempron (Albany), 128MB built-in AMD Radeon Xpress 200M; no problem running FCE Ultra on primary drive. The only time FCE Ultra lags is if I am running it off my external hard drive. L337: Usually, it works fine on my computer. The thing is that I don't always trust running too many services as that could play a potential factor of slowing down my laptop. Have you looked into that to see what they got?

Don't search furthermore, I am 90% sure it's one memory stick that is disfunctional. With my own personal experience at computer repairing, when a computer is unstable, especially during 3d calcultions, it's not the video card nor the processor the problem or any other software, it is a memory stick. You probably bought some generic one and they do suck. It really worths buying a little more expensive one. I am using Corsair and I'm satisfied but there are Samsung known to be good, Kingston, OCZ etc... too. But it could be some other hardware too.
