I will be in the middle of something then - FLASH! - computer reboots itself. It does it much faster than if I had rebooted myself, it just flickers and it's restarting itself. It seems to do it randomly regardless of what program I use. Ideas?

either it's overheating or your PSU is screwed up. it could also be bad RAM, but i doubt it.

To have XP display the error message instead of rebooting:
1. Click Start, and then right-click My Computer. 2. Click Properties. 3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery. 4. Under System failure, click to clear the Automatically restart check box. 5. Click OK, and then click OK.
