If there is no problems found with any hardware like a supply with a weakening cap or memory faults starting to be seen. A possible weak battery after a year's use can come up. A need for a bios update? Besides the hardware side of things the rest is software related like a driver fails to load correctly kicking in XP's crash control there.

The next time you boot the same driver loads normally. One thing to look over is the list of items seen in the msconfig utility's startup group if there's a lot of programs installed. You can often debug a system by simply disabling too much from loading at the same time as Windows does.

Ok, when i bought the computer, it came it crappy x64 bit window xp, but never had problem, never restarted., I downgrade it to window xp x32 bit by reinstalling everything from scratch using a copy of window xp2 32xbit cd . And i have to find drivers for all since the previous owner only gave me the system. I manage to install all drivers and no missing driver. One of the driver, window found automatically.
 
On a used system more then a year old I could easily suspect a few things like the battery on the board itself. Once you start losing cmos information a system will run into various problems seemingly only minor at first. Bad hardware like memory or cpu from ocing? That's another problem of knowing the history on a used system.
 
i got to be honest, could it be window xp 32 bit illegal version that causing this? Ok im sorry but i just dont have money right now. x64 bit sucked because it had so many problem when installing software, that why i had my bro switch the computer to 32bit. The problem didnt happen before till i switched from legit version x64 bit to the x32 bit window.
 
I can't answer that one. sorry! As for 64bit it's still in it's "infancy"! as I have pointed out several times already to people that argue you must get 64bit! right! :rolleyes:
