Re-booting
I am running Windows XP on a Dell machine. For about a month now, I have had
a problem of it re-booting for no apparent reason. There is no pattern to the re-booting. What causes this problem and how can I correct it?

What causes this problem and how can I correct it? Use a monitor to start watching the temperatures of your CPU and case. Might indicate something is overheating. Does Dell include temperature monitoring software? If not, you can probably use Speedfan.

What causes this problem and how can I correct it? If your computer is restarting spontaneously, you are presumably blue-screening, and you are set to the default of rebooting whenever that happens. It's a poor default setting and you should change it. Right-click My Computer, and choose Properties. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery. Under System failure, uncheck the box "Automatically restart. Now when the problem occurs again, instead of restarting, you will get the blue screen with diagnostic information. Post back with those details for more help. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup
