Computer reboots after leaving a game?

My friend has recently build a computer. Specs are:
Epox 8KHA+
Geforce 2 GTS V
256meg Corsair 2400DDR
Athlon XP 1700+
Volcano 6 Cu HS

When running a game (Half-Life mods or empire earth), the game runs great for as long as he plays. No hang-ups, dropped frames, artifacts, it runs just fine. When he exits back to the desktop the computer will reboot itself. Its really confusing. He has noticed this under Windows XP, and hasn't tried another OS.

He hasn't run the computer at stock speeds yet, but even at a 136fsb the computer will behave like this. It has run 6 hours of prime95 at a 150fsb, so I don't think the overclock is the problem (at least on the cpu).

If anyone has ever heard of this problem and has a fix please let us know.
 
I did actually have this happen under winxp a month or so ago but I just formatted and it went away, heh. Not sure what caused it or anything and I prefer to not spend all my time finding solutions so I format a whole lot 🙂

I also have this problem, but it is because of the drivers for my Voodoo 3. Go to system properties then go to advanced and click on system and recovery settings. Uncheck automatically restart and the blue screen will come up when it restarts and will show what the problem is.
