Does the computer restart or does it just turn off and stay off?
Do you know if you have a system restore partition or the XP installation disk?

It could be computer going into hibernate after 120 seconds. Need more details. See how the computer going into hibernate is resolved by changing the registry entry: http://annoyances-resolved.blogspot.com/2009/10/computer-goes-back-to-sleep-after-wake.html

I would think there is a heat problem. Your computer is shutting itself down to avoid heat damage.
