71649 2002-08-16 08:51:00 Better describe your problem?

By "a reboot" problem do you mean a shutdown problem where the PC restarts instead of shutting down?

If so, it is encountering a serious error, for which XP by default restarts.
There is a setting somewhere to stop it restarting, and that way you should find out just what the error code is, and be able to make progress.

Try Google?

71651 2002-08-16 09:02:00 yeh i have turned off the restart when it hits a critical error..its a reset not a shutdown problem..sorry should have been more specific..so far the 3 times its done it i havent seen the blue screen of death to actually tell me the error...i have a friend whois having the same problem tho...from what i can tell from the Microsoft site its a hard one to nail down..could be ,hardware,software,drivers...

71652 2002-08-16 09:06:00 If its a reset, its quite different and could be undersize or faulty power supply, over temperature cpu etc.

Does it do it when involved in high CPU activity (games etc)?

71653 2002-08-16 09:12:00 yeh it does it with games..i have a thunderbird heatsink and fan on a duron 750..i do only have a 250watt power supply running 2 HDD,burner,CDrom sound card etc etc..i havent done the power supply due to the fact i am going to upgrade but according to AMD the power supply is sufficent for the CPU ...but i can leave the computer running for a week with out a problem and then it may reset...
