no i did not make a backup

Are you sure? A lot of people have System Restore set to enabled without them knowing.

Within Windows XP it can be accessed by right-clicking "My Computer" selecting "Properties" and then selecting the "System Restore" tab. I assume within other Windows versions it is similar.

You mentioned that all your other games (that didn't use a CD-check) ran fine. Now you mention that Boulderdash causes a reset too. Which is interesting (and fits my earlier hypothesis):

All your CD-check-less, other games are -most likely- relatively new, and therefore are set to use a modern screen resolution. All the games that do cause the system reset use a lower screen resolution.

Is there a way for you to test this possibility? Perhaps install another old game and see if it resets your system as well? Or even better: configure one of your newer functioning games to use a low screen resolution and see if it then starts to cause resets.
