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!!

It could be a hardware problem too. Disable autorestart, right click My PC > Properties > Advanced options > Startup and recovery > Configuration button > uncheck Restart automatically. Open a new thread if you need more help.
