pc re booting constantly

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Which error code do you get?
when a system failure is encountered the system automatically restarts.
To prevent the system from automatically restarting:

Right click on My Computer > Properties and select Advanced tab.
Click the Settings button in the [Startup and Recovery] section.
Remove the checkmark from Automatically Restart in System Failure section.

The computer is giving an error about a Macromedia Flash file. Why don't you
UNINSTALL Flash, reboot and then reinstall it - if you really need it.
