Windows uses resources more "freely" but that opens up the door for random unpredictable crashes. If you use a Mac and just have a browser open most of the time and one or two simple apps, and tend to restart ever few days you'll have a much more pleasant experience as a novice user.

To the OP, your issue does sound like a hardware issue. Graphics card is what I thought initially as well. The software updates or even a format could fix things though.

I have and use both also. For the "average" user, the Mac is far simpler and more reliable and I def recommend it to most people. I'm just say'n it's far from flawless. I use Photoshop, Aperture on the Mac and can tell you it still crashes every now and then. Not that it crashes all the time or anything, just that its about the same with a PC running Windows 7. I'm not hear to stir up a Mac vs PC debate, I could care less about either one. I'll be keeping the PC because upgrading is far easier, has more upgrade options and far less expensive. I also need it for AutoCad and 3D Studio Max...and Yes I know its available on the Mac or via bootcamp. The ocassional gaming is better with the PC hands down. If money was no object, I wouldn't mind a maxed out MacPro, but alas I don't have that luxury. I think it's also fair to say you pay a premium for the Apple logo ...and this is from a guy with an iPhone, iPad, Macbook Pro & an iPod.

As far as that whole virus, spyware crap. You just gotta stop looking at pornz
