Sudden automatic reboot

My machine (XP) suddenly rebooted. Windows gave a "Serious event" warning and the following error codes and files were mentioned as connected to the problem :

Any clue about what's going on? Impending doom ?

Thanks,

This error normally relates to a hardware incompatability or driver issue. Have you added any new hardware or drivers recently.?

Please follow this guide to attach the minidump so I can have a closer look.

Below the reply box click on Go Advanced. Then scroll down until you see a button Manage Attachments. Click on that and a popup-window opens.

Click on the Browse button, find the minidump files you wish to attach on your PC and doubleclick on it. Normally found in C:\Windows\minidump

Now click on the Upload button in the popup. When done, click on the Close this window button.

Enter your message-text, then click on Submit Message.

Can't find Mini04_2011-1,dmp

Mark56,

I haven't installed any new hardware myself recently, and can't find (with a Search )either of the files mentioned in the crash on my computer.
Again, all the info I have is as follows:

Crash, April 20, 2011(restarted automatically)

Have a look under the Advanced tab in System settings from your Control Panel and check that it is set to save small memory dumps and/or where it is saving them. If you can't see any dumps under C:\Windows\minidump it is most likely switched off.

You could try attaching the file above that ends Mini042011-01.dmp as that should be a dump file from 20th April.

I really need to analyse a minidump to be able to help much further.

Minidump Files for analysis

Mark56,
The file you requested is attached. The same problem occurred this morning as yesterday, a suddenly unexpected reboot on start up. The last previous mini-dump was October 2010; so this is something new.

The file you requested is attached.

Oh no it isn't, have another go, follow the guide above.
