Rebooting XP

My XP machine reboots when its under a load but only sometimes, like i can play CSS all day and it wont reboot but then sometimes an hour in it will reboot. Last night i was watching a dvd and after the movie was over i started watching the special features and it rebooted?

Turn off reboot on error and post what the bluescreen says next time it does it.

Control panel, system, advanced, startup and recovery.

Ok, well you can do what glc says by going to:

Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Startup 'settings' > Uncheck the 'Automatically Restart' option and click OK.

Then when it crashes it should give you a bluescreen, and you need to copy down the information and tell us what it says.
