XP Home Edition issues

[Vince]

I have XP Home edition on one of my PCs (SOYO Motherboard with AMD
processor, 500 M mem). It keeps rebooting itslef without any warnings
and some times I get error message when I start the machine. Below are
details of the error message:
---------------------------------------
C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini071304-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Name\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER21.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml

BCCode : 1000008e BCP1 : C0000005 BCP2 : BF8F43CE BCP3 :
F6EFB878

BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 1_0 Product : 768_1
--------------------------------------
It says the error was caused by a device driver but does not tell me
which device driver.
I am not sure if both of these are linked (rebooting and error message)
because when I get an error message it does not cause it to reboot.
How can I find out why it reboots and why it gives me the error message?
How can I get rid of it?
Thank you for your help

Vince, rt click on MyComputer>select Properties>Advanced>Startup and
Recovery-Settings>Uncheck
Automatically Restart. Also, follow the path of that second line and
delete everything in the Temp folder.
