Have you recently installed any new hardware and/or

drivers? There could be a conflict, or an IRQ conflict.
Also, be sure that you have ALL of the Windows updates
installed in your computer. Make sure that if you DID
recently install new hardware that it is compatible with
Windows and also make sure that you have the most recent
driver for that device by going to the manufacturers
website and choose "support" and downloads for you
specific hardware.
Good luck!

Sounds like the behavior of the old Blaster or Welchia worms. Do you have a
virus checker installer? If not, go get one and run it. I use AntiVir
which is free and has several updates a week, also free.

They all have the Sasser worm. To stop the rebooting, go to Start>Run
and type "shutdown -a" without the quotes. For information about the
worm, go here:

Get the worm off your system and then immediately patch XP:

Install an antivirus program and keep it updated. Install a firewall. XP
has a built-in firewall, or there are free alternatives like Zone Alarm
or Sygate.
