In future, please *attach* the cygcheck output, like the problem reports 
page asks. Including it inline just results in many extra false results 
in the archives search function.

What is actually happening is XP is BSODing. It reboots automatically by 
default.

To turn this particular function off, so you can inspect the BSOD and 
attempt to resolve it, go to control panel, system, the advanced tab, 
and click the settings button in the section 'startup and recovery'.
Untick 'automatically restart', click ok, and click ok again.

In all likelihood, this is a faulty driver, but it could also be 
unstable hardware - especially if you're overclocking any of it.
If you are, run prime95 as a cpu stability test, and use memtest86+ to 
test the ram (this requires the machine to be booted off cd or floppy, 
so you won't be able to use it at the same time).

The BSOD error may give some indication as to the driver that is at 
fault. However you cannot rely on this - it may not show the driver that 
is actually causing the problem.

Spinning complacently in the darkness, covered and blinded by a blanket
of little lives, false security has lulled the madness of this world
into a slumber. Wake up! An eye is upon you, staring straight down and
keenly through, seeing all that you are and everything that you will
never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face
forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has
arrived... Are you ready to go?
