While running a web-based training program in Internet
Explorer 6, the computer spontaneously reboots. The
reboot occurs after a wrong answer is given, a small
dialogue box appears stating that the answer is
incorrect. After clicking OK, a second window with
a "review page" is spawned. Sometimes, immediately upon
clicking on the OK button of the "wrong answer" dialogue,
the machine will reboot. Running IE 6 in Windows XP on a
Dell GX 150.
 
Spontaneous reboot could lead to some hardware problems caused by heat/

Clean the fan in the back of the computer box.
Make sure that the small fan on the motherboard (CPU) is ok.
