Ok thats what happening:
1. Its morning, i am launching my computer.
2. Bios checking, hard disk detection, (all bios related) goes fine.
Then, it is trying to boot up CDTOM - no cd rom in drive, as normally.
Then it want to boot up the Win XP.
But it wont boot it up. Only one second of HD working, then it shows black screen with flashing "-" at the top left.
3: Ok, i cant do anything. I need to restart using a button on my Computer Case.
Ok i am doing reset. Ok the bios detection, HDD's proc RAM etc. all goes fine.
Then detecting cdrom, as normally.
And after 1 second, its showing a window with information that Windows XP not booted normaly, and i got 4 options to choose:
Safe mode
Safe mode with Netwrok
Last Good configuration
Normal Bootup.
5. Ok i choosen normal booting up. It boots well.
This damn thing not happen, when i turn off my computer for about few minutes. and when i am turning it on after few minutes, it is all booting ok.
But if i will wait about 6 hours, it will do the same thing.
I really dont know what is that.
It was started to happen not that long ago.
When it started to happen, i suggested to reinstall my windows.
So i booted up WinXP from the CD, i removed a partition (i got 2 disks) and formatted my HD on the next steps.
Ok 1 restart goes fine, then second one. After second restart of WinXP clean installation, it dont wanted to boot up. Even my monitor dont turned on. Ok i did restart (the button on my comp case) all ok. My win XP booted fine.
+ I installed newest drivers for my graphics Card and i though it will fix the prob. IT WONT.
+ i reseted the bios settings. WONT WORK
What's the problem?

this may be a longshot
How is the battery for your bios, it may be losing its settings, sounds like after 6 hours its draining and you lose your settings, i had a similar problem on a PC I was working on,, Good Luck,,
