A computer crash generally refers to the operating system becoming unoperable. It can happen in many ways: malware; software doing things that it shouldn't (and having major impacts on the OS); user-induced error (user doing things that they shouldn't); it's even possible that corruption could be caused by hardware faults (failing RAM/hard drive).
I've crashed my computer about four or five times over a span of using Windows 95, 98, and ME. I haven't experienced a crash with XP. Whether this is due to my becoming a more experienced user, or whether Windows has become more stable, I can't really say. I do believe that the operating systems are more robust, however, and that a system crash is more likely to be caused by malware than user error if you're a Windows user. So practice smart computing, make sure you have a good and properly configured firewall and virus scanner, and maybe run a spyware sweep every once in a while.
