May be related to video card drivers or possibly corrupt RAM

Can try to update your video card drivers

I had reinstalled windows and downloaded all drivers from intel site again..
Do you have any other suggestion.

I am also getting some red errors when I check event viewer in the source column..

Does anyone know why are these happening as well and if there is any connection with my system restarting and these errors.. I don't think anyone gets these errors neither do I remember getting these before..

Help anyone??

How did you reinstall windows? If you already reinstalled I would assume trying again may not hurt.

Check link below and see if the steps given are the same as you had tried earlier.

If not before, would suggest to use the format option

How to Format Drive and Install Windows from Scratch
Geek to Live: How to format your hard drive and install Windows XP from scratch - Feature - Lifehacker (http://lifehacker.com/software/windows/geek-to-live-how-to-format-your-hard-drive-and-install-windows-xp-from-scratch-157578.php)

Once installed, check all your device mgr to make sure no red or yellow marks are present (and try to address those first if exists)

Now install an antivirus and malware app

Once installed and bare system working properly, when you install prgrams, install 1 by1 and make sure they work properly before installing another one and a restart between would be good idea to see if can narrow down what may cause the issue.

And also, depending on what programsa you are installing, beware of viruses or malware that may be with something that you are installing.
