Thanks, I turned off the System Reboot and I got an error: "The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Reboot the machine."
This has happened on my old computer (old parts, old windows). I don't know how to fix it =/

Hi trex_2010,
XP reboots?
Bit of a tricky one to track down :-(
First make sure you have all the latest Drivers (particularly your graphics card)
#To find out what hardware you have, use
Aida32 http://www.aida32.hu/aida-
#To get your hands on the latest drivers
www.driverguide.com
Next: Make sure your service packed up!
http://www.microsoft.com/d
OR Visit the update site
http://v4.windowsupdate.mi
Next You need to find out what’s going on. XP by default will reboot if it has a problem, you need to turn this feature off!
If your using "classic Mode" Right click "My Computer" >Properties >Advanced > In the "startup and recovery section click "Settings" > Untick "Automatically restart"
If your not using Classic Menu Start >Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System >Advanced > In the "startup and recovery section click "Settings" > Untick "Automatically restart"
Now If Windows has an error it will normally stop with an error message, you will need to pastes the "Entire" error message here.
