Suddenly reseting WinXP
Do you know if these sudden end often resets might be caused by the
hardware? If yes then what may be wrong? OS: Windows XP professional Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-6BXC on an Intel 440BX chipset (with upgraded BIOS) Processor: Pentium II 350 MHz box Graphics: Riva TNT2 M64 Sound: SB! Live 1024 player Network Card: Realtek Combo 10Mb/s RTL8029(AS) PCI USB 2.0 Controller |

It looks exactly like the 'reset' button was pressed, no bluescreens nor
error messages. ADSL internet connection active on modem Thomson SpeedTouch 330 USB. I heard that too weak power supply could be a reason, but there is a 300W ATX power supply (new one) installed. Also all the electrolytic capacitors on motherboard looks OK. There is 192MB (128+64) SDRAM and Seagate 6GB hard disk installed. "FingAZ" wrote in message ...

time after performing an action? FingAZ. "zyzio" wrote in message ... It looks exactly like the 'reset' button was pressed, no bluescreens nor error messages.

Do you know if these sudden end often resets might be caused by the
hardware? If yes then what may be wrong? Go to start menu. Select "control panel" Select "system" Select "advanced" tab Select "settings" from the "startup and recovery" field In the "system failure" field, unselect "Automatically restart" Now, when it crashes, you will be able to se the blue screen to See what actually happened. I have been very impressed with win XP's stability. I have to really abuse it, to make it totally die. |

Suggest you go to Control Panel/System/Advanced and under Startup and
Recovery/Settings/System Failure make sure Automatically Restart is not checked. That will prevent the system from rebooting and should give you an error message telling you a little about what failed. I keep 'Write an event to the system log' and 'Send an administrative alert' checked. Good luck. "zyzio" wrote in message ...
