AMD 1800+ xp reboots

Xoul,

 

More details would help a lot. Does it reboot before or after Windows is loaded (presuming you run Windows)? If after, does it only reboot during some programs? Is it always a reboot, or does it sometimes crash hard? Is this a new system? Has it worked at all? Corporate or home-built? If it's not a new system, have there been any configuration changes?

 

That'd be a good jumping off point.

I sounds like it could be a heat issue. Can you happen to catch the CPU temp when or immediately after it reboots? Did you use the proper amount of thermal paste when you applied the CPU? Too little and there isn't enough to properly vent the heat. Too much and it will act like an insulator instead of a heat conductor.
