Boot into windows reboot

[Avengeance]

Well I recently upgraded my comp to a dual core CPU (amd 4200+) and it was working fine until today. I was browsing the net using firefox and I was watching some videos with embedded windows media player in the site. anyways, for some reason it crashed a few times doing that (fairly normal for firefox) but then it totally froze up when i had like 2 open. so I restarted it manually. it did it again about 30 minutes later while doing the same thing but his time I didnt restart it, and I waited. it finally restarted itself. it then booted back into windows but this time after I logged into windows it instantly restarted. so I restarted it again, same thing. so then I just turned it off for like 15 secconds and turned it back on. it booted back into windows this time just fine but then it said that windows recovered from a serious error. it did this same exact thing earlier today and windows said the same thing. am I doing something wrong, should I format again? or does this sound like a hardware issue? any input would be great, thanks.

I'm not a firefox user so I can't help you with that, but instead of re-installing windows try booting from the CD and doing a repair.

Well I have used Firefox for a few years and never had it as normal for it to crash. Could be another issue with your hardware or system.

Well it seems normal for it to crash (on every system I have used it on) when you open a lot of different pages with embedded videos (windows media player to be exact) but thats just what I have experienced.
