Every so often, usually when switching users on Windows XP, my computer just randomly reboots...any ideas?

hey FrOznSwOrd, does XP have an event viewer like W2K? right click on My Computer -then click Manage - Event viewer may give you a clue as to why it reboots.

Also I have disabled the option to automatically reboot on errors, I have done this on my (W2k box) Right click My Computer - click on properties - then go to the Advanced Tab - then to Startup and Recovery, under System Failure there is a check box for Automatically reboot. this will give you a BSOD in stead of rebooting, this might also help you find your problem
