Windows XP has a default setting to "Restart on failure"

Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, System, Advanced. In the Startup and Recovery section,
click on the "Settings" button to open the Startup and Recovery window. In the System Failure
section, uncheck "Automatically restart", Click "Apply", "OK"

After that change, the computer will no longer restart when a system failure occurs. Instead it
will probably throw up a "Blue Screen Of Death" with a STOP error message and then halt
completely, requiring a manual power off and restart (or reset if it has a hardware reset
switch).

But the contents of the STOP error message will give a specific clue as to the underlying cause
of the problem.

Don't be suprised, if after changing the setting, things appear to run just fine.
Some errors are so minor that they will only show up in the Event logs and not produce a BSD.
However, they would still evoke the restart if the setting were changed back to the default.
