Win XP Pro and Jpegs

[Leigh-Anne Mills]

Hiya

My PC running Win XP Pro SP1 (all patches) has just started to reboot itself
everytime i open a .jpg file.
If i double click it reboots, if i open a Paint Shop pro or Picture Viewer
and then go file open, it reboots.

No BSOD, and no info in the event viewer.

No changes to my system, no programs added, have checked for spyware and
viruses and none found.

I am running a intel p4 3.2GHz 1GB Ram, Nvidia FX 5950 Ultra.

Any Ideas.

Thx

Leigh-Anne

Do you have the same problem if opening JPEG's in Safe Mode? If safe mode
works, what about clean booting of the system?
