I'm not interested in what's better PC/Mac/Linux, I just want to know what's the average number of times your computer stops working per day.
If you'd like, use the following format:
Operating system / Usual browser / Crashes.
So mine would be:
Windows XP / Internet Explorer 7 / 8-10 times
Please don't flame other people's responses and at the very least put the number of crashes even if you don't know the rest of the information I'm suggesting you post.
The point of this question is to find out how much we have to put up with on a daily basis and is it the average?
Thanks.

Windows XP Pro/Firefox, with occasional IE/0. Zero times a day. And that's running across multiple machines in my home office.
I would be worried if my machine was crashing that often.
Clean your reg, defrag, run virus/spyware scans.
Upgrade your memory if you're running under 512 megs.
And dump IE 7. Not saying change browser completely, but 7 still has a long way to go before it's a very stable browser.

Your hardware, operating system, program(s) running and what drivers you have installed impact your crash rate.
My "crash rate": Windows XP SP2 (newest drivers) / Mozilla Firefox / 0 times per week
If I run uTorrent, iTunes, World of Warcraft and FireFox all at the same time it probably goes up to 3 times per week.
As a Windows 2003 server system administrator I probably have 1 crash per month on the 40 most heavily used servers. . . mostly due to crappy applications.

Well, my computer never crashed. I got it on October 13, 2002. It is a Windows XP Home Adition. It hangs and freezes some times.

Win / IE 6 / Never
A computer that is running properly should never shut down or crash (as in completely quit working).
