It could be anything nullb0y.  If you have adequate memory and speed on your PC then its probably a software conflict.  For example mine lags or crashes, but then I feel like an idiot and remember that I forgot to disable my anti-virus.  
My cabinet will not have anti-virus when complete, just Mame.

I run Genome@Home, Norton AV, and few other bits and bobs in the background, and MAME32 is just fine on my system. What CPU do you have, and how much RAM is installed?
