Host OS crashing

Hi,

I've just installed VPC and am having a problem with the host OS continually
rebooting whenever the VPC is running. The problem doesn't seem to be
related to anything that is done on the host or VPC and occurs without
warning on a very regular basis - max 15 minutes, but usually less

The host is Win XP pro (SP2) running on an Intel P4 3Ghz machine with 1Gb of
memory.
The VPC is also Win XP Pro(SP2), with 6Gb disk and 512Mb memory allocations.
The machine additions and VPC SP1 are installed.

Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Thanks
Terry.

the two main causes of this are failing/faulty RAM or/and poor
system/CPU cooling.

VPC very regularly exposes bad RAM that appears to run fine on the
host for years.
