Default Windows shut down problem

This just started happening a few days ago. Can turn on PC running windows
xp home and it will run for 10 to 15 minutes and then shut down and reboot.
Thought it might be a heat issue, but I can boot into safe mode and it will
run forever. I have tried different power supply, different hard drive and
different memory but issue is the same. This is an emachine with integrated
everything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You are presumably blue-screening, and you are set to reboot whenever that
happens. Right-click My Computer, and choose Properties. On the Advanced
tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery. Under System failure,
uncheck the box "Automatically restart.

Now when the problem occurs again, instead of restarting, you will get the
blue screen with diagnostic information. Post back with those details for
more help.
