XP Crashes. No BSOD, no crash dump.

...And absolutely zip in the event viewer. The machine stops, screens go blank & the box reboots and carries on as if nothing had happened. Allied to this, I have seen a few occsasions where the screen has frozen & then carried on with an error message telling me the vpu has recovered from an error.

It's an ATI x1600 & in response, I have updated the driver. I feel the two are linked, but that is just a guess. Any ideas on common causes of this? Google doesn't throw much back & in the absence of a dump or event viewer, it's hard to see what might be doing this.
