Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 video effects and transitions not appearing in program monitor

Hi, I am editing a feature film on my home PC, and before now have had great experience with Premiere Pro CS3. The film was done on HD and there is about 28 hours of footage, with about 20 gigs or so of space still left on my main hard drive.

But about a week ago I started to run into 2 problems:

1) If my timeline was more than 20 minutes long (just an approximation) the video effects and transitions stopped showing up on my Program Monitor. The effects are still there in my timeline but they are not showing up when I'm going through the movie in the program monitor.

2) CS3 keeps randomly shutting down/crashing, especially when I am adjusting/adding complex audio or video effects in the timeline.

Does anyone have any suggestions or help as to how I can fix these problems??? Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeremy.

Are you rendering it before you view it (when the transitions are not showing up)? If you haven't rendered it monitor playback could be jerky and skipping and not showing new bits you have done to your project.
What are your system specs? CPU and RAM need to be pretty good to cope with longer, more complex projects. Premiere is a known system resource hog - I use the Premiere Elements version and it will slow down incredibly when adding multiple effects, on projects with multiple tracks etc. I have to render each little bit I add sometimes so that I can see it properly flowing in the monitor. CPU usage sits at around 95-100% when doing complex things.
