My xp reboots because of driver error

[Miguel]

Hey people,

My XP Prof. sometimes reboots by itself because of an
Driver error.
My problem is that I can't find the driver responsible
for the error, neither can MS support page.

Has anybody had the same problem and have you solved it?
If you have can you tell me how to clear up this mess.

Thanks,

Miguel

Not a lot of info to go on but I'd start with the video driver.

Hi, Miguel.

Windows XP comes with a default setting to Automatically restart on System
failure. This is probably the best setting for a newbie, because so many
computer problems are solved by simply rebooting. However, it gives us no
clue to use in trying to actually solve the problem. :>(

Go to System Properties | Advanced | Startup and Recovery Settings. Under
System failure, UNcheck the box before Automatically restart.

The next time your computer has this problem, instead of rebooting, it will
halt with a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) full of cryptic codes. Somewhere in
the top few lines you may see the name of the problem driver. If you don't
understand what this page of code is telling you, copy the codes verbatim
and include them in your next post here and some guru (not me!) should be
able to decipher them and point you toward a solution.
