1) More info is needed about the situation

2) Post your question to an XP group... this is for Vista.
(I've taken care of that for you)

Check your computer for dust bunnies...

In most cases it is either like mentioned Dirt causing overheating or bad
power supply. As suggested clean out your computer. If it still reboots
after cleaning it out you likely have a bad power supply.

Manny,
It is possible your friend has their computer to automatically restart on a
BSOD which in turn could be caused by a software failure.
