By default Windows machines are set to automatically restart on kernel panics. You don't want that as if it is a hardware problem the kernel panic will often tell you what hardware is at fault. It seems to me that your choices are to either use Compaq supplied hardware diagnostics or to real install Windows and hope for a kernel panic then.
