i hv formatted my pc recently n installed win xp. Now when i connect
to internet and dwonload any exe , pc restarts.
But i can download other file types like .mp3,.doc,.zip.
If the exe is a zip file i can download it but i cant download an exe
directly.

This is a huge shot in the dark, but I am going with you have an antivirus
or antimalware program that actively monitors your system (real time
monitoring)

To accomplish this, your av/malware program needs a driver that is
inspecting packets as they are received....something about the drive in
misfiring as it reads executable files.

I would uninstall such applications temporarily and see if that makes a
difference.

I would also update your NIC driver
