hey all,
ive been having a similar problem. last month my comp would spontaneously restart....with
only a *beep*, windows xp would just restart....VERY FRUSTRATING !... so to fix the
problem i did i am used to doing with previous windows o/s i format and re install.
this is not a big issue as i have a second harddrive that contains backup docs /
files.
BUT, after this re-install windows xp now jsut spontaneously freezes up !!! ..although
this is progress... i guess...it was not really what i was hopeing to achieve...
i have sp1a installed... and explorer sp1 ... though i believe the problem started
after the all knowing windows update told me to download 2 years worth of updates
...arggg ...
please any suggestions would be appreciated...
my system:
p4 2.4, abit ic7, 1gb mem, WD 80GB (8mb) HDD + IBM 30GB HDD, ati radeon 8500, soundblaster
audigy.
think i might try the early release of sp2... man this is so anoying...
later,
merdox
