Hi Firdos,
If this is a new error, try restoring your system back to when it worked.
1. How to use Windows XP System Restore:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/gethelp/systemrestore.asp
2. If you've been unable to see the exact error due to a system restart then
To stop this behavior go to Control Panel / System / Advanced /
Click the Startup and Recovery Settings button / Uncheck the box
labelled "Automatically restart" under the System Failure section.
3. To analyse the error, try the steps in:
http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
4. If the error indicates a file name that begins with ati, or nv (nVidia)
the most likely solution would be to install the latest drivers using
the instructions at:
http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/Video.html#drivers
5. Otherwise, here's how to troubleshoot IRQL errors (scroll down this page):
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/gettingstarted/guide/troubleshoot.asp
6. And here are the Microsoft Articles on those IRQL errors (complete list):

7. Hope this shines some light on the situation. If it seems like a lot of diagnosis,
and I agree that it is, try a repair installation of Windows instead, test your RAM
and update your drivers (step 4) to optimize your Windows XP installation.
