xp restarts automatically

[daniel]

hi iv'e experienced this twice in the last 2 days:
ill be working on something, or browsing (clicking on
photos) and all of a sudden my windows xp P4 1.7ghz 512 mg
ram , will just restart..it seems like the power was just
turned off all of a sudden..but thats not the case,
because it automatically reboots. (if it was a power
problem..it wouldnt start up again)
When i looked into the details..it said something about a
small memory dump? any ideas what is going on?
thanks,
--daniel

Hi

Right click on My Computer, select Properties and then the Advanced tab.
Click on Settings under 'Startup and Recovery' and then uncheck
'Automatically restart'. Next time your PC tries to restart you see a Blue
Screen. Could you please post the Stop Code that accompanies that BSOD?
