This behavior may occur if one of the following conditions is true: \n• One or more of the random access memory (RAM) modules that are installed on your computer are faulty. \n• The RAM configuration is incompatible with Windows XP. \n\nMake sure your RAM is inserted properly and try restarting. If you recently put new ram in, that could be the probably or one of your sticks of ram have fried.

sounds like you broke your mainboard.   not good, but a new mainboard isn't that expensive.

Maybe you have been installed some video card drivers lately? Try System Restore.

Could be any number of reasons! \n\nPost your PC specs and it will be easier to help you.\n\nAt a guess you might:-\n1. Need more RAM\n2. Need to defrag your harddrive\n3. Your PC may be overheating\n4. You may need to reinstall Windows.\n\nAnd the list goes on and on...

The temperature inside yourt computer is too hot, pls check your internal fans if they are working properly. This is bad and you can damage your processor permanently.

It could be many things.... start by disconnecting  your Hard Drive... if it still restarts and does not let you stay in the bios try a new Power Supply... if persist its most likely your motherboard... make sure to disconnect  everything else...

This sounds as if your power supply on the PC itself went bad.  Especially if you have checked all your power connections, and you are still on getting power to your system.  \n\nyou may need to contact E machines and see if your system is stll under any warranty.  If you have any Geek friends, have them check it out to make sure its the power supply, and not the motherboard, memory, and/or processor.

maybe overheat issue try using motherboard monitor program to check the temperature of the system and do some burn in test on specific hardware such as cpu, ram, graphic card as game does put a good amount of stress on those hardware

When a computer crashes, it usually displays some sort of error message on the screen, like a message box/pop-up or a blue screen.\n\nMost computer crashes are software-only problems and the usual way of dealing with crashes is to close down the program that started the crash, or if Windows crashes, restart your computer.  In case you didn't know, software are things you get off a CD-ROM or download from the internet.  Windows is software.\n\nSome crashes are related to hardware (actual computer parts) like the hard drive, CD-ROM, sound system, etc.  Depending on how bad it is, you might need to have the part replaced.

It may get overheated or some hardware is broken (it can be a HDD,RAM,Video card etc., I think the HDD has a problem). Try getting a hardware diagnostic tool.

Two most likely culprits:\n\nPower & Heat. \n\nFirst clean out your computer. Get rid of the dust, clean off the fans. \n\nIf that doesn't work buy additional system fans.\n\nIf that doesn't work replace your power supply with a larger wattage one.

Not all windows crashes are caused by a virus. Just remember that it can be many problems not related to a virus.\n\nHere are some other possible causes.\n\n1 There may be a corrupt/missing file.\n\n2 There may be a driver problem\n\n3 Maybe there is a problem with your HHD or there is a problem when windows is trying to remove any temporary virtual memory files that it needed during operation.\n\n4 You might have bad ram (now).\n\n5 There might be a problem with the actual shut-down program itself.\n\ngood luck!

This is the problem that I used to encounter number of times. Then I went for Windows update and installed some critical updates as suggested by the web site after scanning my computer.\n\nIts going to be a week that I have not yet faced any crash.

This could be a cooling issue, check your fans and dust out your system. I saw one system the other day that did this because of the massive amount of dust, even though the fans were still turning. \nAlso try starting the computer in safe mode and see if it works then or locks up without restarting. A bad XP install will cause this sort of action. Sometimes there is a bios option that tells the system to restart on error, you can turn this off to help diagnose the problem.

Check the Memory on your PC, it may be faulty.

reinstall the program/drivers.  It sounds like a data crash.
