I have had this problem occur, but not only in windows, but                   ANY application...  It got so bad that sometimes it was a RACE to see how much I could get in and saved before the impending reboot hit...

... turned out to be dust in the case ...  blew out the dust and the problem never occured again!  

However, that may not be the case for you.  I know of this happening on an AT right this time as well... and look forward to finding out possible causes.  This particular setup is 12mhz. AT running Hercules with an IDE drive, 4 meg ram, and WINWORD. Also, sometimes when exiting windows, it bombs with a divide overflow error.
