From a MS article: "In Windows XP, the default setting is for the computer to reboot automatically when a fatal error occurs" sadly there are multiple problems that could cause this to happen....these links might give you some ideas: http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-6336-0.html?forumID=75&threadID=173152 http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/11668/
