Odd problem..to me anyway!

Winxp Pro, AMD 1700XP, 512mb SDRAM 2 x 80gb HD, etc.

Recently, when I try to watch "streaming video", ( the type that connects
then buffers", my computer rests itself...that is closes down and
reboots...all on it's own! This happens when the video I want to watch has
just begun.
Have recently got ADSL and a wireless router, Netgear 834G.

Anybody out there know why? Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Try reinstalling DirectX and Windows Media Player.
