Allot of programs recently started to crash.
At first I thought it was alright becuase they dont ever usually crash but then it happened again...
and now there happening more frequently, I can't even use MSN Messenger anymore, it crash's once I log-in.
IE and FF started to crash allot at first but it seems to happen less,
but my games are also being effected, Lineage II , World of Warcraft and even gunbound all crash randomly.
I don't know what to do, there getting really annoying, and I'm not going to reformat becuase
Im not going to throw away year's of data! =(
I have the entire DBZ Episodes on this PC damnit!
plus my favorite animes (chobits, elfen lied ect)
all of them took so long to download! ARGH! HELP!

Truly *RANDOM* crashing generally = overheating/hardware failure

You do realize that you can *backup* data right? Also, you can install XP over itself without formatting, although any currently installed programs won't be "installed" anymore (since there's no registry entries for them). Just pick "leave filesystem intact" when it asks how you want to format the drive.

You should isolate the problem before doing anything like formatting though, it's probably your cpu overheating or something stupid

I really think you should clean out your case for dust and see if that helps (dust will usually clog up in your case & fans and effect the airflow in your case).
