    It started doing this about 3 weeks ago. Seems to do it randomly, although I'm not sure it's ever done it while I wasn't actively browsing the internet (Firefox)... of course I almost always have the browser running.

    It does run checkdisk when it boots back up on its own.

    How do I determine if this is software or hardware... and what's the best way to correct the problem? I suppose I could do the one-key recovery, but I'd like to avoid that if it's a hardware issue.

    It has the Nano CPU and runs XP Home.

    If you think it's the drive I'd suggest making a backup and you can HD Tune to see if there's something wrong with the drive.
