Spontaneous Restarts!!

Gah, this is the 3rd time my comp has restarted on itself. It seems to be whenever I'm watching or listening some type of media with Jet Audio, but I doubt thats the problem.

Hardware:

Asus A7N8X Deluxe (ordered from newegg.com)

AMD Athlon XP "Barton" 2500+ (newegg.com)

Western Digital 120 GB "Special Edition" Hard Drive 7200 RPM (newegg.com)

1024mb Muskin RAM PC3200 (the Muskin website)

Lite-On 52x24x52x (newegg.com)

Radeon 9600 Pro (I think it was retail) (newegg.com)

350 Watt power supply, came with the Antec Lanboy case.

Software:

Jet Audio Basic

Kazaa Lite K++

Sygate Personal Firewall

PC Probe (came with mobo)

AVG Antivirus Personal

AOL Instant Messenger

Some ATI Task Bar thing, I don't know what purpose it serves

OpenOffice 1.0.2 Quickstart

Mozilla

3COM Taskbar Icon (just tells me whats been sent and received over the network)

Changes to Bios:

The only thing I changed in the BIOS was enabled the virus boot thing, and in the Advance Chipset Settings I changed the FSB to 166 (the only thing I changed)

My average temperature of my CPU and Motherboard are 47 C and 25 C

If you need anymore information just tell me.

**Edit**
Oh, and I'm running Windows XP Pro

XP pro has this feature built in. Go into system/advanced/startup and recovery and disable the "Automatically Reboot" feature.

Look in event viewer and see if it is logging anything. It will by default reboot if it bluescreens, you wont eve see it.

Why would it do that without prompting?
