    Control Panel > System > Advanced > Startup and Recovery.

    Untick "Automatically restart" and set memory dump to None.

    Hopefully, you'll get a blue-screen error with a message next time.

    Your temps are fine, quite cool for an OC really. Try going into system properties in Windows XP, Advanced, Startup and Recovery settings, and under debugging info choose none from dropdown menu. See if Windows produces a BSOD with an error code. Might be due to OC settings in BIOS. What are your memory timings?

    Nothing that would force a reboot...unless the temp reaches 70ยบ and your BIOS is set to shutdown ad that temp...Follow BpB's tip and post back the error message. What are you doing when the PC reboots?

    According to MS, this is a driver issue, so check to see if you have all latest, compatible drivers. More info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q291/8/06.ASP&NoWebContent=1

    What motherboard and memory are you using?

    I'm only asking this, because I used to get the same error with my Epox 8rda3+ motherboard and (2) 512mb Kingston PC3200 ram. When the ram was in slots 1 and 3, I would get the same error. When the ram were in slots 1 and 2, I quit getting the error.

    Try memtest on each stick of ram, individually. See which stick has the errors. If they don't come up with an error individually, then the sticks may not like playing well with each other.
