Computer Resetting Without Warning
Hello,
My computer is resetting without warning, sometimes during a program (video editing, encoding - processor intensive stuff) and sometimes immediately after turning it on for the first time fn the day. I'm at a loss as to decide why. Anyone any thoughts? I'm leaning towards the PSU not being powerful enough but don't want to go to this expense without being sure. Is it the BIOS shutting down the machine after a certain processor temp. perhaps? Many thanks, Will Hay -- AMD XP2000+ 512MB PC133 30gb IBM Primary HDD 80gb & 120gb Maxtor on a PCI controller card Antec 340w PSU Panasonic DVD-R/RAM on secondary master Lite-on CDRW on primary slave Lite-on DVD-Rom on secondary slave ATI 64MB ViVo Radeon Soundblaster 1024 Live!

Could be XP hit a wall and rebooted.
You could turn the rebooting off to see if that's it. Control Panel/System/Advanced/Startup and Recovery/ Uncheck "Automatically Restart" -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ |
