I am not surprised your system crashes at all.

...

You have everything on IRQ9.
Richard, this doesn't mean what you think it means. IRQ sharing is normal on Windows XP - see http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q314068

Windows takes advantage of the ACPI features of the motherboard, including advanced PCI sharing. The PCI bus uses IRQ 9 for IRQ steering. This feature lets you add more devices without generating IRQ conflicts.
The first user of IRQ 9 on Keefs resource list is (ISA) 9 Microsoft ACPI Compliant System, that explains the rest.
