Random error messages in a variety of different applications often suggests
a hardware problem, such as RAM errors or overheating. Get your friend to
run a comprehensive hardware diagnostic routine to confirm that all hardware
is operating properly before trying to chase down software problems.
Meanwhile, clean out the PC to ensure that dust isn't blocking the vents,
and make sure that all fans are operating properly.
