Default Re: video drivers causing cpu to spontaneously reboot (ati x1950)

Your event log should have an entry for a blue screen. It will be a bunch of letters and numers like 0x000001244b

Write that error code down. You also need to set your PC to pause during a failure. This will keep the error screen up and not reboot the PC allowing you to see what error ocurred. To do this:

Right click My computer----properties---advanced tab---click settings button under startup and recovery---uncheck "automatically restart" under system failure
