I have Windows XP. Everyday my computer does a mini dump or something. In
any case it restarts all by itself, even when I'm in the middle of something.
How do I stop this from happening?

Right-click My Computer
Select Properties
Select the Advanced tab
Select Settings under the Startup and Recovery section
De-select Automatically Restart under the System Failure section

Click OK to close, and you're all set.
