Hi!Eddie!
By default, XP is configured that when a system failure is encountered
the system automatically restarts.To prevent the system from
automatically restarting:
Right click [My Computer] click [Properties] and select [Advanced] tab.
Click the [Settings] button in the [Startup and Recovery] section.
Remove the checkmark from [Automatically Restart] in [System Failure]
section.
