Is  it possibly a power failure? This sounds like a hardware-related issue
if you have tried both SuSE and Windows XP. What is an s.o? is it anything
like  BIOS  or the bootloader? Is there any pattern you can identify?  For
example,  is  there any application that causes this to happen  more  fre-
quently? Does it happen when the CPU is working at its full capacity?

PS - Try replacing the battery or see if an engineer can identify the
culprit.
