1. did u just install linux or have things been working for you and then suddenly windows starts crashing?

2. You mentioned using grub as loader - what sector the cylinder is linux installed on - past the 1024 cylinder (8GB)? what is your boot order?

Hopefully grub did not overwrite your window partition's MBR,otherwise windows will not boot w/o a boot disk
