The only correct statement I've seen is that this IS a software problem (XP). This is
not an overheating problem. This is
not a driver problem.
Actually, this is a system dump problem (virtual memory) which is stated nice and clearly in your error message:

C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini062805-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\JANICE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml
GOOD NEWS!!! This can be very easily fixed.
I know because I had to do the same thing on my system. It's a quirk of XP so here goes:
1. Go to My Computer and select: Control Panel.
2. From the Control Panel, select: Performance and Maintenance.
3. Click on "System"
4. You'll get a pop up window with various options. Select the tab "Advanced"
5. You'll get a pop up window with various options. Look where it says "Startup and Recovery" and click on "Settings."
6. Look where the subheading "System Failure" is located. Input the following:
------------- Check (or leave checked) "Write an event to system log"
------------- Check (or leave checked) "Send administrative alert"
------------ Uncheck "Automatically reboot"
********************* IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure
"AUTOMATICALLY REBOOT" is
UN checked. This is why your computer keeps rebooting.
7. Then on the same window, go further down where the subheading "Write debugging information" and do the following:
-------- first area, you have the choice for the types of memory dumps. I have been successful by selecting "Small memory dump (64 KB)" but if you keep getting the administrative alert, then select "None"
------- Small dump directory: Should be: %SystemRoot%\Minidump
That should take care of it. ~s~
