Computer randomly restarts during gameplay...

[Eyn]

I might as well post here too. Thought it was not a major issue.

I was really really surprised and panic when my desktop went BSOD, then auto-reset/restart while I am playing FFXIV (I still remember I was chopping level 1 trees at Black Shroud). First time playing FFXIV gave me such intense moment.

I recently install WhoCrashed software to check what crashed my desktop. Result is as follows:

crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\051212-16317-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x71F00)
Bugcheck code: 0x19 (0x3, 0xFFFFFA800365D520, 0xFFFEFA800365D520, 0xFFFFFA800365D520)

description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that a pool header is corrupt.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.

The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system which cannot be identified at this time.

Since the crash dump said somethng about the ntoskrnl.exe file I used my Windows XP disc to replace it. So I will see of that works, if not, I will remove my new and/or old ram to see if that helps. I'll let you guys know whats up.

Try doing a prime95 on your pc, and see how long it can go without restarting, it will push your processor and ram to max, it sounds to me that it could be Power supply too, me sure you do a backup of your data just in case.
