This happens all the time... I click on an icon (ie.. Recycle bin) or hit a key on the comp and BAM ,... reboot! what could it be...? I JUST reformatted, and it didnt change much... I have XP 1 gig of RAM Athlon XP 2600 could it be a virus... I also have this same error occur when I am in 3d games too I tried updating EVERY driver... no luck I tried a RAM mem test they say they passed... I am out of ideas... please help me out here this has been going on for months! thx Matt
ok.. if I boot in safe mode, then what...? Do I simply wait for a crash...? I wouldn't knoww hat to do once in safe mode... the crashes are random and arbitrary...
1 your in the wrong forum, should be in pc hardware below. 2 see if can borrow a psu to see if that is causing the problem. 3 reseat all cards, ram & cables(both data & power) to the motherboard & drives. 4 check that the cpu fan is running right & cpu is not overheating. 5 check all the cans(capacitors) on motherboard are flat top & not domed.
i agree with DDP as well....and do u have any type of virus protection....cause that as well can be the problem, if all other steps in previous post fail...if you do what antivirus software are you using...
