Are you sure the hardware is fine? Sometimes crashes are caused by bad
RAM, CPU oder power supply.=20

To test RAM and CPU you can encrypt, decrypt and compare large files,
a corrupted RAM leads to errors in the files.=20


This small skript will generate a 200m file, encrypt, decrypt and
compare it with the source with a SHA1 hash. I use it at work to check
PCs if they behave strange. Maybe this helps to verify the hardware
works as expected.
