Windows XP reboots my pc after about 5 minutes.
Also, when booting it asks to select the operating
system and Windows XP shows twice.

Appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi

Do you see any Blue Screen? If not, right click on My Computer, select
Properties and then the Advanced tab. Click on Settings under 'Startup and
Recovery' and then uncheck 'Automatically restart'. Next time your PC tries
to restart you see a Blue Screen. Could you please post the Stop Code that
accompanies that BSOD? With that your problem could be isolated.

See if the following helps for the selecting of the OS:

"I have two installations of XP on the same partition, how do I remove the
one I don't need?"
