Well, its not due to the cpu temp, thats for sure. 52 is warmer then usual but still within acceptable range (<65). Yes, there is sometimes 'duel' bewteen xp and 2k, so I suggest you choose and use one of them. Especially knowing that there is little or no difference between the two (kernelwise).

Hello AlCapone thanks for your reply

Well to be honest ive actually got three duel boot system with hdr0 as Win2k and XP and hdr1 as Linux (mandrake 8.1 Installed last) it use to happen with win2k before on its own, i would like to just stick with XP but the cd buring software (Nero) has errors and restarts my PC.

The boot loader for linux has priority when booting, would you know how i can undo it and take Linux off should i decide to stick with XP?

Well, I'd stick with xp and I would certainly use another box for linux. Check with your local colleges I bought p200 3g hdd 64 with 15 monitor for $30 on a sale from state school.

As for nero, it works just great on xp, so you should try at least reinstalling it.
