Hey Mate,
Fairly long post, bear with me. ;-)

That thread refers to >>
Windows XP Patch: System Recovery Error Appears After Every Reboot
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...46-0e2c-429f-8f40-f30014adc3bb&displaylang=en
Discussed here >>>
You receive a "System Has Recovered from a Serious Error" message
after every restart
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317277
That isn't your problem. With that problem you get this message:
[[System has recovered from a serious error]] at every boot. When
you see that message, you'll know it. I have seen it on my
machine. ;-( ===
I don't know what's causing your rebooting problem. Yes, it could
be a memory problem. Check in the Event Viewer to see if you can
find any clues. Check under System & maybe Application. Look
around the times you get the reboots.
Event ID & the Event Source are very important.
To open the Event Viewer...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | OK
For any Events that seem related to the problem...
Double click the event in Event Viewer | Click: the button below
the second arrow (looks like two pages) [[Copies the details of the
event to the Clipboard.]] | Paste into Notepad | Click:

From your first post...
C:\DOCUME~1\AND~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERb333.dir00\Mini112004-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\AND~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERb333.dir00\sysdata.xml
Mini112004-01.dmp, referenced above, is from Dumprep.exe = Windows
Error Reporting Dump Reporting Tool. That can run for two reasons,
if you have it set to run when you have a System failure and even
if not set to run, it will run when you have a severe System
failure. Dumprep.exe creates the dump log, Mini112004-01.dmp and
sysdata.xml. IMHO, the info is useless unless you're an engineer.
I have these disabled.
The settings are here and you can disable these....>>>
Right click My Computer | Properties | Advanced tab | Under Startup
and Recovery | Settings button | Under System Failure | UNCheck:
 Write an event to the system log | Under Write debugging
information | Select (None) | OK | Apply | OK
 Write an event to the system log = dumprep 0-k
[[Specifies whether Windows will write event information to the
system log when the system stops unexpectedly.
You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to
set recovery options.]]
Write debugging information:
[[Specifies what type of information Windows should record when the
system stops unexpectedly, and the name of the file that holds this
information.]]
Dump file:
[[Provides a space for you to type the name of a log file that
Windows can use to write the contents of system memory when the
system stops unexpectedly.
You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to
set recovery options.]] %systemroot%\MEMORY.DMP is the default.
If you have other problems, then dumprep 0-k is automatically
enabled.
If you have Error Reporting enabled, this entry may show up for the
first time after your PC has experienced a Windows XP "dump" crash,
or an Office XP or Internet Explorer 6 crash where you were
prompted about sending the crash results to Microsoft.
To disable Error Reporting....
Right click My Computer | Properties | Advanced tab |
Error Reporting button |  Disable error reporting
Also.
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | OK |
Scroll down to and double click: Error Reporting Service | Apply |
OK ===

This won't fix your problem, but it'll keep your machine from
rebooting.
It may also help reading a BSOD.
