shut down to prevent and damages or somthing like that,
and it says to check any newly installed hardware or
software, but i havent installed any, so like i dont know

What XP is trying to tell you is some driver as become on stable and it
needs to shutdown.

Sometimes the blue screen can give you a clue to which driver it maybe.

Hopefully someone can tell the setting to make XP give the blue screen of death.
That's how I found out what device was giving me troubles. (I had to uninstall
and re-install all of my video drivers, being very careful to make my uninstall
complete (with extra shut-downs and such).
 
Or go to the system (event) log where all this, previous,
and other important symptoms are recorded.
