My pc has started to shut down by itself.This seems to happen when clicking
with the mouse on icons or emails.I have run several scans for viruses,and
spyware without result..I get a blue screen which is visible for a very
short time,literally one or two seconds.Then the pc shuts down and
reboots.All I can make out from the screen are a few lines of text."Physical
memory dump"."something about switch off in the BIOS.Get in touch with your
dealer.Is this screen stored somewhere on file,like scandisk files.If it is
I cant seem to find it.I am running XP pro,on a 1.8ghz duron processor,2X256
mb ddram.This is the only problem that I have with the pc.Anyone got any
ideas..Thanks in advance..Steve..

Change the Restart / Recover options (IIRC it's called that in XP) not
to auto reboot this gives stops at the BSOD messages.

Also see the event log - system, a short form of the BSOD msg / codes
are recorded there.

Read the reply in above, it will tell you how to freeze that screen so
you can read the exact error message.
