Could be heat..
Could be bad RAM..

Open your case, put a fan blowing into it.
If that does nothing, take out some of your memory.. Rearrange it.. etc..

Set your BIOS to safer settings than they are now..
Check the event log to see if there is anything there that helps you narrow
your search..
Keep your firewall on and antivirus updated.. Also check for spy/ad/malware.
 
Hello
mis matched ram will cause this bad ram will cause this check to make sure
all of your ram is pc100 or pc133 if it is not remove the ones that do not
match if they all match check to see if you have a bad chip by removing them
one at a time and booting up and see if it still locks up, XP is pretty ram
friendly but it is picky and will not let you by with things 98 & ME did.
