View Full Version : Computer restarts on its own

December 12th 03, 07:39 PM
My computer has, for the last 2 months, been restarting
on its own at what seem to be random times of the day or
night. Today was the last occurrence, happening at
10:08p.m., the same exact time it happened 4 days ago.
It may be a very odd coincidence, but I highly doubt it,
even though it has happened at other times on occasion.
I've already done a full virus scan with Norton several
times, and the computer is clean. The only thing I can
come up with is an error that comes up from a scheduled
task (since the times between today's events and 4 days
ago are the same). I have one thing that was run last at
the same time as the restart, and that was NetDetect,
although I don't know if it was run before or after the
computer restarted. It did come up with a "0x65" as
the "Last Result", but I can't seem to find what that
error message means on any databases. Any suggestions or
insight?

Hi Eric,
Do you think it might have something to do with the
weather>? Look below:


Next: Book - Page [0x66] Up: Game Packets Structure
Previous: Time [0x5B] Contents


Set Weather [0x65]
Set Weather (4 bytes)
BYTE cmd
BYTE type
0x00 - "It starts to rain"
0x01 - "A fierce storm approaches."
0x02 - "It begins to snow"
0x03 - "A storm is brewing.",
0xFF - None (turns off sound effects),
0xFE (no effect?? Set temperature?)
BYTE num (number of weather effects on screen)
BYTE temperature

Note: Temperature has no effect at present. Note: maximum
number of weather effects on screen is 70. Note: If it is
raining, you can add snow by setting the num to the num
of rain currently going, plus the number of snow you
want. Note: Weather messages are only displayed when
weather starts. Note: Weather will end automatically
after 6 minutes without any weather change packets. Note:
You can totally end weather (to display a new message) by
teleporting. I think it's either the 0x78 or 0x20
messages that reset it, though I haven't checked to be
sure (other possibilities, 0x4F or 0x4E)

OK...So maybe I'm not that technologically
advanced...Some explanation to your response?
