Ok, I wanna watch some videos I DL'd ( not ****! ) I open it in Windows media player and the video will play for like 5 minutes than the computer will restart. I get the send error report thing and the windows website says its a device driver causing it. I haven't really installed anything recently , so I don't know. The last thing I installed was zone alarm, so I uninstalled that, ubt it still did it.

Gimme some suggestions, I wanna watch family guy

You should check your IRQ's and assign new ones to your devices if there are conflicts.

do that, also I know they dont make these anymore but you should check anyway. Look at your video card and make sure there are no jumpers for setting irq and IO on the card.
