If you had another power supply I would try using it to see if you can rule out this potential problem causer. A computer I have started out behaving as you described...unpredictable...then it seemed to only crash when I would click to open or close something....then finally it seemed to almost never crash except when transfering files over my LAN. In my case it ended up being a defective slot 1, 350MHz PII. Good luck

There is an auto-reboot feature when system crashes set by default for Windows 2000.
It is located under My Computer - Control Panel - System - Advanced - Startup and Recovery Button.
If you turn this off, you might be able to at least see some crash messages.

This is more than likely an overheating problem . Chech the power supply and processor fan operation. Also check for dirt and rubbish in the Processor heatsink.
