Shadow, if your computer keeps rebooting by itself, it's most likely a driver/hardware problem. There's a way you can turn off the "automatic reboots" so that you get the informative blue screens instead. And yes, they're more informative than the reboots. I had that problem, and kept getting IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or something like that, along with a file name. I believe I tracked the problem down to my network card, which wasn't all that compatible with XP. Of course, now I'm having problems with my video card on that machine. *sigh* sometimes, you just can't win.

Honestly, I can't see a monitor being non-compatible with XP. Video card, yes, but not the monitor. But that's just me. laugh
