Playing music---computer shuts down

M

Mr. Krabs

I just got a new computer with Windows XP.
intel 2.6ghz with 512mb-ram HT
It has built in 5.1 audio, supposedly.
If I am in Windows Media Player 9, either just listening
to tunes or clicking around, the screen goes black and
the system reboots on it's own.
When listening to music, it doesn't reboot right away.
I looked in the audio driver list and there's c-media and
legacy drivers etc. Are they one and the same, or is it
possible there is a conflict?
Also in the system tray when I reboot there are two items
to control volume. The usual volume control and then
another with a theater face with controls for 5.1 etc.

Just an update:
I've also noted that if I'm clicking really fast using
media player I can get the computer to reboot too.
