Really? I've never had XP actually run a chkdsk just because of a
reboot, even a crash. It's supposed to just apply/roll back the
journal/log/whatever they call it.
I've often found that problems like this are caused by failing disk
sectors in places like the swap file. You might want to run a
"chkdsk /f /r" a couple times when the machine's otherwise mostly idle.
I've several times had a machine that was acting flakier and flakier
over the course of a week or two, then pop up a dialog saying "found a
bad sector in (important system structure), relocating" and had
everything start being smooth again.
