Random reboots / Machine_Check error (bugcheck analysis included)

I have a Compaq Presario 7000US Special Edition with Windows XP Pro
SP1 (build 2600). For the past few months, it's been randomly
restarting itself. Upon examining the MiniDump files, I find that
nearly all of them are due to the same error (see below).

Does this indicate a problem with my processor (1.20 gigahertz AMD
Athlon) and/or its drivers? How would I go about fixing the error? I
did not add or remove any hardware prior to this. Please advise. Thank
you.
