Crash to reboot?. - Page 2

Ok so having had SH4 in the box for months finally decided to give it a go.
Installed Vanilla and started a career. Halfway through mission 2 my PC fell over big time. This resulted in wiping the HD reinstalling everything and basically starting again.
So I reloaded SH4, rebooted, d/l'd 1.4 patch, installed, rebooted, started the game.
It let me go through sub selection etc etc and off I went on my first mission.
I get the screen load up in the sub and about 3 seconds later it crashes. Not to desktop but forces a restart on the PC. No windows is shutting down or error mesages blah blah just grey screen then up comes the boot setups etc.
Never seen that before............
System specs are Win XP home edition V2002 SP3, AMD Athlon XP3000+, 2.17Gig with 1Gig Ram, NVidea GeForce 6600 card. I have a winxp pro upgrade I can install instead if it makes any difference.
I'm deleting it all again and will reinstall vanilla then patch to see if I can get it going again.
I trawled the forum but couldn't find anywhere else it rebooted as opposed to CTD.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
