Sounds like a Mini Dump...any error messages?

isn't there an option in winxp that tells the puter to reboot automatically every time it encounters a system error?

been there, no help at all

oh well something has changed! try reinstall the programs you

In winXP it is a good Idea to disable the auto-reboot after an error. Go into your system control panel, and one of the options allows you to change the error handling and recovery settings. Just uncheck the "reboot after error" box.

You may want to check for trojans if the problem persists. Many trojans such as subseven give complete control of your computer to anyone with the client program. Even with a firewall installed it may be possible for these progs to effect you - all it takes is one open and exploitable port.
