Hi Jel your reboots can be caused by many many issues. But it's been my experience that 99% of the time it comes from two issues. Either your chipset drivers are either not installed, not fully installed or they are the wrong ones. the 2nd being the most common would be your memory. XP is known for memory leaks and believe it or not sometime the best $$$$ sticks wont run well in XP. Keep in mind MS designed XP for the AVERAGE home user. Which means they dont want to spend more money on the computer then they have to. Which means they will by that nice 19 inch monitor before they by new memory.
I used to run a shit load of games. In fact I built my systems for them. Lots of hi end shit. $ 3 and 4K boxes. Anyway most of the games would crash sometime during play or start up. Then it leaked to my browser. Well the ram was corsair extream (at the time about $250 a 512 stick and I had 1 1/2 gigs) well every place I read told me memory leaks. I went to compusa bought some OK mid range ram 1 gig $250 total. problems have been solved.
