Creating a formula in word crashes my laptop

[Deedo]

My office 2003 products work perfectly on my laptop. But recently I have
been attempting to create a formula in a table (I would normally use excel
and paste link). But everytime I attempt it, my entire laptop crashes and
reboots. It is only happening when I attempt this function.

I have done a repair, and it says everything is fine
I have done all my updates, but it still happens.

Has anyone else had this happen recently?

Thanks
