Hi everyone, I have a bit of a problem with a decent computer I cannot use. Its a Hp Pavilion a465c, 3.00E Intel Pent.4, 512 Mb, 160Gb. I access windows and log in just fine, but 15-20 minutes into my session the computer will restart. (Believe me, I've tried all I can find in tech support) So I disable the automatic system failure restart in the system properties. It will stop restarting on its own, but If I run to many programs or install new and many drivers/hardware/software, the computer will crash regardless of the automatic system failure restart being off. Instead of restarting promptly, the computer will give me a blue error message that lists problems that may be causing the error message. Faulty corrupting drivers, newly installed/added hardware/software, and possibly memory. The more items I download and install the more often it crashes to the error message, like a worstening cold. I end up having to destructive recovery it or reformat with discs.

Is there any possible explaination as to why this might be happening that anyone might be familiar with?
