I have also faced this bluescreen and then sudden restart! I checked many articles and I was able to troubleshoot the problem. Since the fix might not be the same for every issue, What I can do is to help you read the error message. You can do the troubleshooting later.
The reason Windows is quickly restarting when the error occurs, without giving you enough time to see the error message, is that the system is configured to automatically restart when a system error occurs. When a STOP error occurs, Windows restarts so rapidly you have no time to look at the message. This behavior is quite disconcerting because you can’t get the error message information you desperately need to troubleshoot the problem.
Before any troubleshooting effort can begin, you need to configure WinXP so it won’t automatically restart when the error occurs.
1.Right-click My Computer, click Properties, and click the Advanced tab.
2.Click the Settings button in the Startup and Recovery option groups and click the
Automatically Restart checkbox in the System Failure option group to clear it.
3.Click OK to accept your changes.
WinXP now displays the error message, and you can troubleshoot the problem :)

“0x0000008E” error on a blue screen in WinXP
This rare (and random) error can occur when a program references an incorrect memory address, causing your computer to crash. This can be really annoying at times and we get afraid as we see the frightening DEATH SCREEN!!!
Solution: Microsoft has released a hotfix,which you can install and run to fix the problem.You’ll need to call Microsoft technical support to obtain the hotfix, however. It’s not available online (at least, not yet). If you only see the error occasionally, you might consider waiting for another service pack release for WinXP, although living with the error is probably counter-productive. For support options visit support.microsoft.com.
The good news is that if the tech support engineer determines that you do need the hot-fix, you won’t be charged for the call.
Note: This is for those who bought the Licensed version. People otherwise - dont call Support without buying :)
