I can't believe nobody has thought of this. I've had problems like this before with certain applications, as well as World of Warcraft. The issue is probably your video card drivers, or the card itself.
I had the same problem with limewire, at first. Decent system, about 2 ghz, 1 gig of ram, Windows XP Pro, Radeon 9800 video card. After about 10 seconds of Limewire being open, the monitor would go black, or sometimes flicker once or twice, then after a few seconds, the computer would reboot. Upgrading the video drivers solved that problem.
I'm currently having the same issue with WoW, but I was told to try using some old drivers - which I'll do when I'm not so lazy.
