Eh, is there any possible way to avoid the crashes. Mostly happens when I'm near a jump gate or a lane...

Make sure you have 3D Sound disabled.

It is, and besides, i'm not using sound currently anyways.

If you can't find that, you don't have XP.

Ya, it finally clicked lol.
I got XP. hehe (the thing that says windows XP was no help at all):P
But uh... is there any way to not have my computer crashed all the time?

It's relatively unusual for a computer to crash all of the time but here are some of the common reasons why it does:
1. Dust in various heatsinks causing CPU or graphicas card to overheat - or possibly a failed fan.
2. Faulty memory.
3. Viruses and buggy software although from your description I don't think it is this.
4. Faulty motherboard, graphics card or power supply.
Cleaning your heatsinks is easy to do. Blow air into them until they are clean - generally best to do this outside. Check that the fans are spinning when the computer is powered on.
