I have recently reinstalled xp on a clean HD but since ive had a strang problem with my pc...
When i leave my pc downloading for long periods of time it reboots itself. Its only happening when im downloading. upon reboot I get a message "system has recovered from a serious error" blah blah, when i send my error report i check out what microsoft have to say (not alot). They point the finger at a device driver, But all my drivers are up to date. Windows is completely up to date.

Someone suggested checking the IRQ settings but all are fine.

Doe's anyone have any idea what could be happening??


My pc spec is
XP pro
AMD 2100xp
768 ddr ram
SB
GF4ti
nice mouse
cheap nasty keyboard
