My xp reboots because of driver error
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 |

My xp reboots because of driver error
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.
