XP Professional reboots every 11 minutes on queue

without any prompting. When I was running XP Home I had no problems. I moved to XP Professional and it just reboots. Seems to be every time that it tries to screensaver or maybe it's a timeout thing. Seems to be about every 11 minutes. I've turned off power management items, i.e. never shut down monitor, hard drives, etc, to try to stop it. The event viewer, as you know doesn't show much, but has a ACPI type error. I've checked for sasser and also ran every windows update... HELP ANYONE>>> :)

Rt click on MyComputer>select Prop>Advanced>Startup and
Recovery-Settings>Uncheck Automatically Restart.
This may give you an error message next time it wants to restart.
