Hello everyone! :-D
OK, I've been having some trouble with this comp since a long time ago... the first thing that ever happened was that it shutted off for no reason and then showing a blinking red LED in the power light, which is usually static green... I formatted, and it fixed. After a while it started doing it again. Then the HDD started clicking... I cleaned the case and it fixed everything, and it never happened again. Then, once in a while, after I shut it off, it turns on again after 5 seconds or so, without asking me for my boot password... And today... I was playing Digimon Digital Card Battle on ePSXe (popular PlayStation emu) when it suddenly restarted. When Windows came back up, I got 2 messages:http://sulfurmidis.com/videoprobs.jpg
What do I do at this point? It's a Compaq Presario 6010US, and I have upgraded it with a 2nd hard drive, a DVD-RW drive, and 256 more of RAM... Does anyone know? Thanks! ;-)

It's pretty obvious that the problem is with your video drivers...uninstall them, then reinstall them.
Then change the settings so that your system doesn't restart when it encounters a problem:

Also, I suggest you do the first 4 tweaks on this list (at least):

El-Trucha - welcome back, yes it the the Emulation Software messing with the Video Drivers. Also your HDD may be dying have you run diagnostics ?

Alright... I went ahead and tried the HDD diagnostics first, I downloaded the Maxtor PowerMax diagnostic tool and I made a floppy. I restarted, with the floppy in drive, and Windows logo appeared... I shutted off at that point and rebooted. WHAT?! Where did my boot password go?! I shutted down again, but this time, I opened BIOS setup. Boot order was set to floppy first... I set a new boot password, saved changes and rebooted. Still my floppy won't boot! What the hell?! Maybe my BIOS battery's gone? How can I replace it? Thanks! ;-)
BTW: I'll try reinstalling video drivers now...
