Microsoft in its infinite wisdom has decided that the default should now be to automatically restart whenever the OS crashes, conveniently preventing you from seeing that useful information.
Go to Control Panel, System, Advanced, Settings (under Startup and Recovery), and remove the "Automatically restart" checkbox. Then the next time you'll see the blue screen, it'll stay there instead of just flash and go away, so you should be able to write down some of that information before hitting your reset button.
Incidentally, my own XP x64 machine has taken a liking to just crash on me as well (also caused by win32k.dll), when I'm inserting blank DVDs in my drive, *and* Nero happens to be running...so predictably in fact, that I've taken the habit of shutting down Nero before changing any CD (which is then never a problem)...

Hello, that was customer driven response, bring the machine back to a booting state.<g> I'ts a prefence thing, some people want it to reboot automatically and some people don't. It was changed because of customer feedback. But you can hit F8 and choose a Safe Mode Option to not reboot the machine on that next boot. It will stop on the Blue Screen so you can capture data> Thanks, Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Riiiiiiiiiiight. How was the question asked, "would you like to continue seeing the Blue Screen of Death in the future"?
History indicates that would be the Microsoft thing to do.

Hi thanks to all who replied and sorry for the delay in replying have been very busy, any how here is the error codes I am getting. The first ting is I managed to get XP Pro 64bit back on the disk and installed the updated Uli SATA drivers also installed SP2 that is all I have done. The computer will sometimes run for 3 hours with no problem then if you turn it on the next day problems, so as requested here are the error codes I have received. 0x000000D1 ref tcpip.sys 0x0000003B ref win32k.sys both were followed by a physical memory dump 0x0000007E was the most frequent error but did not referee to any particular reasons. plus the following 0x00000024, 0x0000001E. I feel it has to be hardware so the following have been checked. 1. SATA drive replaced with IDE drive same problems 2. Memory removed, cleaned and swooped and tried in single 512k strips, same problem. 3. Changed the power supply, no different. All that is left is the m/board and processor. I have tried various diagnostic software booted at startup and none have given any negative results except with regards to the processor (AMD Athlon 64bit) which was a Segmentation Fault but not sure if this was due to the software not being suitable. It has also stoped at the welcom screen and the screen has gone blank with no messages as to why. The motherboard is a Jetway A210GDMS, a Maxtor SATA drive and the onboard graphice has been replaced by a Nvidia GeForce 7100GS. I hope this info will jelp you all to shed some light on my problem othe wise it will ba a trip the my local computer store

You can check this:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=330182&sd=RMVP
(just a stab in darkness)
Did you flash your BIOS?
Did you try and download the SATA drivers again, since they are 'Floppy born', they are wulnerable to all kinds of corruption.
Just changing the PSU wouldn't necessarily uncover any of the issues that comes with poorer quality, you should make sure that your PSU is First Class or very nearly that.
Troubleshooting errors like these could keep you occupied for a long time, depending on the age of your machine and the relative cheapness of MB's these days, a new one might not be a bad idea at all. On the other hand, you could lay out the specs for a completely new machine for the OS and see if the present one is running XP Home in a reliable fashion and let it trickle down the generation gap.
