| 402601 | 2005-11-08 00:16:00 | The plot thickens... Disabled auto restart got blue screen telling me the culprit NV4_Disp (a nvidia driver file) so should a try another driver version ? Running Forceware 77.77 drivers atm Yup, uninstall 77.77, delete its folder, reboot, and then get, and reinstall 81.85 from the Nvidia site, NOT from Windowsupdate. |

| 402603 | 2005-11-08 01:12:00 | try restart.........but tap F8 repeatedly to get boot menu.......then choose 'vga mode' then goto wihdoze and see if it crashes.......if it dont then you vid card *could* be the culprit..........ps: vga mode will only load the BASIC windoze vid drivers so it'll LOOK like safe mode ........ | drcspy (146) | ||
| 402604 | 2005-11-08 01:21:00 | Upon further investigation I removed unnecessary devices, my network card and my firewire card and so far no reboots. So maybe my power supply is 2 weak, But that still leaves me wondering why it only started happening yesterday ? | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||

Start with the most obvious and accesable components, work your way back to the mobo/cpu. Open wallet. The PSU is first and foremost on the list of obvious and accessible parts. |

| 402608 | 2005-11-08 03:55:00 | Hi people just started having this problem yesterday where all of a sudden the monitor will go into sleep mode then the pc will reboot, then it tells me that it has recovered from a serious error, It keept doing it all yesterday so i nuked Xp and reinstalled everything but now its still doing it arrgh :mad: Have scanned for viruses etc nothing found as yet. I think it may have something to do with internet explorer (use firefox mostly) because soon as I open IE the pc will reboot also system restore sometimes makes it reboot too. Any suggestions as this is really p***ing me off ??? :help: Specs: Amd 2400XP+ 1Gig Ram Windows XP Geforce 6800LE hi maybe you need open your case,to 1.check whether cpu fan is still working and 2.change the ram 3 reflash your motherboard's bios goodluck |
