I never had this problem (or any problems, for that matter) before, but now my Windows (ME) crashes regularly. I think it may have something to do with my downgrading from XP, which would randomly reboot my pc. Now, even when performing simple updates, I get bsods with errors such as "0e: 016f: bff8e64b" and others. ME also occasionally just shuts down and displays a completely black screen except small green rods on the top of the display. After these errors, many times I have to cut power to my pc in order to restart it. This constant instability is starting to really bug me and I'd like a solution.

When you say "downgrading" do you mean that you re-installed Me over XP or did you un-install XP so that your system would return to Me. I had have Me and I upgraded to XP, I didn't like it so used the Add/Remove facility to revert to Me and I had no difficulty at all. If you were to clear that point there is bound to be someone to help you.

I booted into dos with a winme bootdisk, ran sys c:, and then deleted the windows and program files directories. Then, I installed ME after all that.
Recently, I ran an fdisk on my machine and formatted the hard drive. When I reinstalled ME again, I still get that bsod that I never had before XP and I get that blank screen with green rods on top frequently as well.

Ryan,
You said you formatted your HD and reinstalled ME. 1. Did you install of your updated drivers. Wait a minute system setup please. Mobo,CPU,Vid card,Sound card so on and so forth.

My system is: 1.2 GHz AMD Athlon proc, Abit KG7 mobo, 512 MB DDR2100 RAM, IBM 40GB 60GXP HDD, GeForce2 MX Video Card, Sound Blaster Live! Value sound, HP CD-Writer Plus 8100
That is my system.
This is really irritating me since I used to format and run ME fine when I had my old 400 MHz K6-2/POS mobo/128 MB PC100 RAM combo.
