If you have an AMD-based system (Athlon, Duron, Thunderbird, etc.) then your problem may be due to incompatibility between some Socket-A mainboards (BIOS) and Windows XP. I was experiencing frequent spontaneous reboots and crashes after installing Windows XP and found the same error message you describe. My solution (permanent, so far, going on 4 months) was to simply disable ACPI in Device Manager. I also disabled PnP in the BIOS so that BIOS now assigns IRQs, etc., instead of Windows. (It seems to do a better job.)
