I have recently installed XP SP2 along with Spyware Doctor and Spy Bot to
remove some spyware as was suggested in a previous posting. Now the system
reboots after about 5 minutes. Any ideas?

Here's a Knowledge Base article:

Your computer repeatedly restarts after installing SP2:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;878474

However, since we don't know what malware you had, how you removed it,
and what the state of the computer was before you installed SP2, there
isn't any way to tell from your post what exactly is the cause and
resolution of your problem. It might be SP2, or it might not. It might
be the result of installing SP2 on an infested machine, or it might
not.

You may want to uninstall SP2 and then thoroughly clean your computer.
Before you reinstall SP2, make sure you've properly prepared. Here are
some additional SP2 links to help you:
