OS X 10.1 keeps crashing!

Hey all,

The weirdest thing keeps happening: I start OS X, login -- using either acc't, both admin, on my box -- and if I start an app other than a system utility, the machine crashes right back to the login window. If I login again, I just get the spinning colourwheel and I have to manually restart.

Arrgh!

Machine details: Mac OS X 10.1 on G4/500 w/ 256megs RAM, 30G harddrive divided into 5 partitions. (X on one, classic on another.)

Thanks for any help!
 
The problem here can be many things. The best thing to do in my experience would be to reinstall the whole system!
 
is your osx on the lowest numbered partition? it is explicit in install instructions that osx be on the first one i believe and within a certain amount of space from beginning of drive. this has been a problem for some partition users.
