    Well if it's rebooting it can only mean 2 things on your pc:

    1) Psu isn't enough- This isn't the case here. The K7S5A isn't a power hog and you're not oc'ed

    2) The cpu is overheating: Now this can go several ways:

    A) not enough thermal grease
    B) Fan is not working or it's dirty
    C) Heatsink is not mounted correctly thus it's not making good contact with the core.

    Or there's a program,virus that has corrupted some windows files.

    I would check the heatsink and fan first, then go with the windows attack ;) Run a virus/trojan scan.

    I think there are some posts that you missed....


    The machine only rebooted when i checked the option to have xp reboot upon incurring an error.

    I stopped the rebooting by unchecking it. THis then showed me that the error is still ocurring but is isnt causing the rebooting...xp was.

    The error is what i posted in the Pic. on the event viewer.

    What does that mean? The error...

    By the way i appreciate the great help you are giving me. I know we are still dignosing but i appreciate the time.

    I ran the virus scan already, i really think it has to do w/ the windows error since xp is the one rebooting. PC would reboot if xp didnt tell it to.

    The error itself could be coming from an overheating cpu. I am willing to bet this is the problem my XP1700+ starts to act up right around 52 and 53 degrees C. You'll have to clean off the fans in the case, the heatsink, reapply thermal paste and reattach the heatsink.
