Service Pack 1 crashes
For the past several weeks, my system has been crashing
and restarting every several hours (irregularly. Crashes seem unrelated to anything application-wise -- it does the same thing whether I am working on it or not. Seems like it should be a virus or worm, but three different scanners -- including a boot-level scan -- have found it clean. The only event log "crash message" is Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 5.01. 2600 Service Pack 1 Uniprocessor Free. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. which is the last event before the crash...needless to say there is no info on this problem at the help link. Restarts are usually normally, occasionally XP wants to check a couple of the hard drives but they always come back error free. Restoring to dates before the crashes started has not helped, restoring "way back" might, of course, help at the price of knocking out dozens of programs and drivers that were working fine at one time. This thing is driving me nuts. Any ideas? Thanks. Oh, yes, we have an Athlon XP 2200, 1.5 GB DDR RAM, ASUS A7N8x2.0 Delux MB, 3/09/03 Phoenix BIOS Release, ATi Rage Pro Video, two ATA ultra 133 drives, one SATA drive, a Plextor DVD ..... .. |
