Western Digital 250GB SATA II
XFX Geforce 7800GT Vid card
Windows XP Home Edition with SP2
Limewire version 4.10.9
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0

Do you get BSD (blue screen of death) at all just before it reboots?

Check your video card settings. You might find something here 1. The way to fix the Blank screen on startup,
2. GeoForce 3D setting, 3. Fix for LW interface blank spots problem

If BSD then see Limewire and Blue Screen of Death (click on link). It could be something like a ineffective fan, inappropriate heatsinks, graphic or other drivers out of date, etc.

Have a look through this thread. It's long & some of it is quite old but there are lots of fixes to try (disabling ultrapeer capabilities for example). If you want to try updating Java, use the offline installer here
