I know very little about computers, but for a while now, about 4 months, my computer will randomly restart itself. I ran my Ad-aware SE personal, and nothing that dangerous popped up. I checked the event viewer, and I got the BSOD when I told my system not to reboot itself.

this is what I got in the event viewer:

type:error
user:N/A
computer: NINZ
Source: System Error
Category: (102)
Event ID:1003
Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 fca15a51, parameter3 f7ddb878, parameter4 00000000.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

this was right before the error:

type:Information
User:N/A
Computer:Ninz
Source: Save Dump
Category:none
Event ID:1001

Can anyone help me? I am running Windows XP but I don't know that much about computers so I will probably need a step by step help if there is any. Thank you
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0xfca15a51, 0xf7ddb878, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini100705-02.dmp.
