re: PC still rebooting.. bad RAM? New Chip/motherboard. Sunday, February 15, 2004 at 4:54 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Tom Sargent (6 messages posted) Windows launches processes before the welcome screen appears. If one of those should crash, error trapping could default you to a reboot and you'd never know. If you can slow the clock and successfully boot up, why don't you check the event logs that Windows compiles during the boot process (and at all times)? These are date and time stamped, and might show you what process was running, or trying to run, when the reboots occurred. You can launch the event log viewer at: control panel -> performance & maintenance -> administrative tools -> eventviewer. Take a look at the system and application logs. Look for Error and Warning postings, denoted by red and yellow symbols. Good luck. On Saturday, February 14, 2004 at 11:32 am, Pent wrote: >The thing is...
