| 1357546 | 2005-09-01 13:11:00 | hi ,is it normal that my pc (win xp pro ) restart from time to time , its the second time it did it this month , i dont jnow where the cause maybe from ( i bought my new pc its been 3 mounths ) pls help . :confused: | keoss (8818) | ||
| 1357547 | 2005-09-01 13:38:00 | No its not normal for it to just reset by itself- this is probably due to overheating or a power related problem - you should take it back if its still under warranty... | HadO (796) | ||
| 1357548 | 2005-09-01 14:27:00 | thanks , ill see what i can do , maybe its just the heat , i have a prescott ,known to overheat easily , ok thanks | keoss (8818) | ||
| 1357549 | 2005-09-01 14:38:00 | i have the same problem... i think it's my psu though, coz sometimes when i turn my pc on, it powers up but doesnt actually boot.... and then sometimes (mostly when IM working! :mad: ) my pc just resets.... :confused: | bizzack (7739) | ||
| 1357550 | 2005-09-01 15:38:00 | hi,have u tried to reinstall the os ( eventough it should be the last thing to try ) coz with my first pc i had the same probleme and it was due to the installation of a third party driver that was creating some frictions with my xp ( nvidia riva tnt 2 driver ) and eventhough i uninstaled it ,the problemes remains , but it desapears after formatting . my advice is to look at the most recent version of the last software u have installed before the probleme begins or just to uninstall it . | keoss (8818) | ||
| 1357551 | 2005-09-01 21:46:00 | Did u install SP2 Keoss?? And what version of the Nvidia drivers did u install?? You didn't install the Nvidia drivers from the Microsoft site did you?? If you did, that maybe why. Get them from the Nvidia site. |

| 1357552 | 2005-09-01 22:21:00 | Right click 'My Computer' Select 'Properties' Select the 'Advanced tab' Under 'Startup and Recovery' select 'Settings' Untick 'Automatically Restart' This should give you the dreaded 'Blue Screen of Death' next time the OS fails It will also give you an error message Post the results of the error meassage, this may help track down the problem ------------------------ Also check the 'Event Viewer' after the next failure and look for any failure results Control Panel > Administrative Tools > 'Event Viewer' ------------------------ And as others have already said, check your video and sound card drivers 'Cause if you installed them as part of Windows Update, it's likely they will cause a problem Can't understand why MS insist on keeping them as part of Windows Update as they trash a lot of machines Go to 'Hardware' > 'Device Manager' expand Display Adapters and right click your video card, select properties, go to the Driver Tab and check who the 'Driver Provider' is. If it's Microsoft, go to the manufacturers site download the correct drivers, uninstall the video/sound card and install the new drivers |
