First and foremost you should update your video drivers to the latest from nVidia.com. Spontaneous reboots and blue screens are almost always caused by hardware or driver problems. GC2 requires drivers from mid-late 2005 at the oldest to work reliably (yours are dated 2003).

Drivers and page file. The fact you are from Belgium has nothing to do with it, atm you do not meet the min specs. So drivers updated, page file of about a gig at least.
