shutdown

Greetings. I've got a PC with XP just formatted and clean, and happens that most of times I try to shutt it down or reboot, at the last second when it must get off, it appears a BSOD and auto reboots. That started to happen before the format. With Blue Screen Viewer I can see the error and it...
