If your system crashes you most likely have a defective installation of
Windows 2000.  If reinstalling alone does not help, updating your
drivers might help.  The fact that only (?) POV-Ray crashes your system
is just coincidence - in general if your system crashes this is an
indication of a system malfunction, not a problem with the program that
was running when the system crash occurred (there are exceptions to
this, of course).

You can be sure that if there were general problems/crashes running
POV-Ray under Windows 2000, there would be a lot of complaints here
already :-)
