Please check these:
If you are running Windows 2000 or XP and your computer spontaneously reboots, you probably have experienced what Microsoft calls a bug check, but what everyone else calls the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). The default setting for the BSOD is not to show the BSOD, but to reboot the computer. This isnt very helpful for tracking down problems.
If you are experiencing blue screens, heres how you can help us track it down (these instructions are for Win2000, but XP is similar):
1. Select Start/Settings/Control Panel/System
2. Go to the Advanced tab and click on Startup and Recovery
3. Uncheck Automatically reboot
4. Set the memory dump to Small Memory Dump
