I have a question about the USB port. Recently, I plugged a Flash Drive into one of the USB ports. The system Win XP Pro, recognizes it but then reboots itself shortly after it is plugged in. The computer will boot up recognizes it again and reboots as long as this or an iPod player is in that USB port. I'm not sure why this is happening. There were no problems before. I know Win XP does not like a driver from Roxio 5. However, it simply disabled it. I will update this program. But has anyone else experience this?

 
I had the same problem with a Biostar Pentium II MOBO running Windows 98SE and 2000. It also rebooted if I plugged in a 10/100 LAN adapter (tried two). Solution was to replace the MOBO.
 
I have heard of itunes causing all sorts of problems as well. This may or may not be related to the problem you are having.
