Re: Windows XP...Reboots randomly
Okay to bring you up to date, I tried to do a system restore, but I dont think it worked, as in the computer didnt boot correctly after the system restore. But suprisingly enough, everything seemed to work fine for quite awhile after that, at least until I started to reply here. Thats when I started getting an error while browsing IE. It was just your normal Illegal operation error, and it closes IE. The first couple times it did it it didnt shut down the computer, just shut down IE. Then it finally did shut down the computer, and I have the log from that error attached. One thing that Ive noticed seems to pop up besides the normal IE error, is also a Dr.Watson Postmortem Debugger error. When this error pops, it seems to be a sign that the computer is really messed, and is about to shut down. Now to answer your questions, no, I wouldnt say everything is fine until my next shutdown after a good boot. Everything is fine for awhile, as in IE dosent crash the computer to begin with. But eventually I will start getting the crashes again. Im not sure what you mean by watching the ram count in the BIOS post, and ive never got any hard drive not found errors. The computer is was purchased in may of 2003, so a little over 2 years old. I ran that program, and listed under what you requested is as follows:
System Model: americanfuture MS-6585 1.0
Main Circuit Board: Board: MSI MS-6585 1.0
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. Version 07.00T 07/03/02
Drives:
80.02 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
38.00 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space
ARTEC WSM-52X [CD-ROM drive]
IDE DVD-ROM 16X [CD-ROM drive]
3.5" format removeable media [Floppy drive]
WDC WD800JB-00CRA1 [Hard drive] (80.03 GB) -- drive 0, s/n WD-WCA8E7492182, rev 17.07W17, SMART Status: Healthy
The more I play around with stuff the more I think it might be spyware/virus related. I did have some sort of infection a few weeks ago but ive scanned my computer and nothing comes up. Which is why I think I will post that hijackthis log in the correct forum. Thanks for you help so far!
