Over the past few months my computer has gone from a few seemingly randomly crashes to incessantly crashing (I can't even install S.T.A.L.K.E.R. without it crashing halfway through the installation). I tested everything (although I don't know how well) and replaced the harddrive when a bad S.M.A.R.T. status was indicated. Not sure what to do next. (I no longer have a warranty by the way.)

Best thing to do is to take it into a shop for diagnostics. It could be anything from bad RAM, to an overheating issue, to a power supply, to a virus or worm.
