Computer Crash for no reason

HI, My computer crash for no reason. It just reboot. There's no sign of warning when it does that. I have 400 MHZ, 30 gb harddrive, 348 mb. Win XP with SP2. Cleaned it up with spybot and adaware. Updated antivirus etc... There is one thing that I think could cause this is I get message from MS after sending the problem, it says device driver but couldnt say which one? Tried looking up for it but to no avail. I wonder if sudden electric shutoff may have cause this? :?:
