Windows XP shutting down. Help plz?!

Hi,

I have a computer with Windows XP and Linux installed. Now, there's nothing wrong with Linux, but whenever we try using Windows, it shuts down at random moments, not even if we do something special. Or anything at all.
We can try some programs and they do start up, but at a certain moment, the screen just goes black and the computer reboots.

Anyone recoqnize this problem?

Greetings,

That's a weird problem. I have a laptop that runs a version of windows and linux. Just because you have both installed doesn't mean that is causing the problem. It's definitely something wrong with your windows.

I know. I forgot to mention, but we have another computer that runs Windows XP and Linux too, but there's no problem there, so that can't be the problem.
