I have a question about Top reasons for random, fatal crashes in Windows XP and Windows 2000:

My computers a new Pentium 4 2.2Ghz with 512 DDR RAM, 64MB Graphics Card, 80GB 7200RPM Hardisk and a 300Watt Power Supply, running Windows XP Professional. It randomly restarts when I do anything at all, from playing a game to installing something. After restarting, Windows tells me that it has recovered from a serious problem, and it asks me if I want to send a report to Microsoft. I have practically nothing on the PC. How can I fix it?

You should turn the auto restart setting off first and then ull be able to see the actual error message which will provide you with more clues and even more frustration. Take it from me, Im here aren't I? Well thats besides the point..sigh, good luck

hi i just formatted my pc and reinstalled windows xp and ive been getting random restarts after 1 week. it can be in games or just browsing the net. this never happened before so im a bit confused. system specs are asus a7n266-vm (nforce 1) leadtek gf 2 ti athlon 1600 xp 512 mb 2100 spectek ram 40gb hdd sb live 5.1 250w psu 2 80mm case fans 1 cd-rw drive 1 dvd drive windoze xp had all these before the format and had no problems was checking my vc temp and it dropped 5 degs after turning the fans on so i dont think its a heat problem as no parts are overclocked. ive had this system for a year. the problem only started after the reinstall. i have all the latest winxp updates.

I am having the same problems with an almost identical system. (I am using the onboard video and sound.) I have re-loaded Windows XP at least 6 times and downloaded the most recent driver upgrades and bios version (1007) from ASUS. The system still re-boots randomly and/or hangs up. Please let me know if anyone has a solution!

I had this problem with 3 systems and got rid of it by replacing my spectek ram with other brands......

I am having a similar problem. How do I turn the auto restart setting off? Thanks.

To disable the auto-reboot, go to the control panel. Double-click 'System'. Click the 'Advanced' tab. Go to the 'Startup and Recovery' section, and select 'Settings'. In the System Failure section, uncheck 'Automatically Restart'. You should now be able to see the error message, and hopefully find out what's been causing your problems. Good luck. n Sunday, February 29, 2004 at 2:33 pm, Stefan wrote: >I am having a similar problem. How do I turn the auto restart setting off? > >Thanks. > >
