i no sp2 is good too

Sometimes i leave it on overnight, like if im downloading/uploading something, or defragging my hard drive. But usually i just turn it on in the morning and turn it off before I go to bed.

That's why there are fans cooling the processor ..

i used to use xp-sp1, currently i use sp2
i dunno, but i once used win98 on, and it didnt restart automatically, and also i use linux on it, and it does not restart!!
also i tried replacing some of the computer devices (i changed winmodem, also tried running computer without ethernet, used each of the two RAM chips -128MB each- seperately) and i tried the BIOS Fail Safe settings: none of those stopped computer from restarting automatically!!!
when i bought the pc it came with win2000, it was fine too, but i want to keep using xp because i find it most suitable to me!!

the two main things that cause crashes are when playing games, and using internet; games especially nfs6, nfsu2, (nfsu didnt cause me trouble)
there are few random crashes too.

i use latest drivers for most of my devices (all didgitally signed too)
i got no viruses at all, i use symantec antivirus corporate edition always with latest definitions, and norton internet security 2003,
and also no spyware or adware, as i take care of what i download!!

[i know you guys are past this thread but..]

my computer is normally on from 11:00 amto 1:00 am
