Two days ago I updated XP from Microsoft web site. There were some optional driver updates for ITE 8211 and Sil 3132 controllers, which I did. The update also included some IE Explorer updates. Since then, whenever I watch a video clip in IE Explorer (something small like CNN news clips) the system restarts. After 3 attempts, I suspected this is a update replated issue and restored the system, and it is fine now.

Why this happened? Is it drivers related or IE Explorer update related?

The system:

Asus P5LD2 Deluxe
Pentium 4 630
Windows XP PRO (Genuine)
 
I have experienced the same problems with driver updates from MS website, I learned my lesson doing it that way so i tend to stick to manual driver updates for the future.
 
Try updating your sound drivers or video driver or both. We had this problem at work and it was the sound and video drivers.
 
Yes, it is audio drivers related - I guess. I did other updates except driver updates. System is running fine now. Thanks for the replies.
