532859 2007-03-14 07:33:00 My desktop PC sometimes restarts by itself for no apparent reason, this is really annoying because I could be in the middle of something. This happened three times in the last two months. I have the latest Windows XP service pack and Norton internet security updates installed. What could be the problem here? Thanks dragonball7002 (12004)

To force XP to show the error message rather than automatically restarting, do this:

Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab. Click settings in the Startup and Recovery section, under System Failure clear the checkbox next to Automatically Restart. Click OK.

Note down the full details of the error message when this next happens and post back with it.
