Constant System Reboot, Scanned but no problems found?

To whom can help,
I have not a single clue why my system, just today, decided to be so
kind as to reboot for no reason several times. I ran spybot 1.4, adaware and
Norton 2005 (all up to date) and all the problems were fixed. I had to
restart in safe mode to even complete those tasks, but still after doing that
it had rebooted on me a few times. Only Adaware and Spybot found problems,
Norton didn't find anything, so I'm not really sure what the problem is. As
of right now it's fine. I checked the event viewer but it shows no errors
(which I wish it did so as to having a clue as to what's up). Maybe it has to
do with this program I recently installed, style xp, I get an error everytime
saying it is not available for my version of xp (home build 2600) but when I
get online and hit check for updates it works. The other bad part is that I
can't do system restore on any of my restore dates, tried them all, even
tried to do system restore in safe mode but it didn't work. Maybe it might
also have to do with this free wwII game I downloaded that came with all this
extra crap that I didn't need. If you anyone has any ideas please drop me a
line.

WTC,
Here's the blue screen error message, I had to take a picture of it
because the computer would start right away. "A problem has been detected and
windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.A device driver attempting to corrupt the
system has been caught.The faulty driver currently on the kernel
stack must be replaced with a working version.If this is the first
time you've seen this stop error screen,restart your computer,if
this screen appears again,follow these steps:Check to make sure any
new hardware or software is properly installed.If this is a new
installation,ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any
windows updates you might need,if problems continue,disable or
remove any newly installed hardware or software.Disable BIOS memory
options such as caching or shadowing.If you need to use Safe Mode to
remove or disable components, restart your computer,press F8 to
select Advanced Startup Options,and then select Safe Mode.
Technical information: *** STOP: 0x000000C4 (0x00000090,0xFFDFF120,
0x00000000,0x00000000)".....................my computer is only about 3
months old, it isn't really all that dirty. Plus I have an extra fan.

Take a look at this article and there is not much I can do for you. Maybe
someone else will post something more helpful.

If you do not get any replies from other posters then you should contact the
computer manufacturer for support since the computer is only 3 months old.
You /may/ possibly need a BIOS update from the computer manufacturer to
resolve this but I am uncertain and BIOS updates can be very dangerous
because the update could render your computer useless.
