How do diagnose issue of computer resetting itself constantly, please help!
I'm having an issue with my computer resetting randomly, sometimes it happens once a day, sometimes it doesn't happen for a few days at a time and other times it happens many times per day. It's a P4 with 2gig of ram & gigabyte mainboard, and I have replaced every piece of hardware on it and it still happens!!! I've replaced, ram, video card, cpu, power supply (I now have 500watt), main board but not my usb devices. It basically just does a hard reset but doesn't go into the usual blue screen, just reboots as if you hit the reset key. I'm running barely anything on the os of the pc except for office, antivirus (MacAfee) and virtual server 2005 r2. On the virtual servers I run my dev environment etc... At first I thought it was hardware related as it was just recycling the power, however now I wonder whether is is software related as I have noticed that when it boots up after a crash and goes into the "inform Microsoft about this problem" screen, it mentions that a driver caused the "stop error" but gives no more information than that. I cant see any dump logs under the windows directory, where are they usually kept and how do I examine them? If anyone could help me out, on how to debug this, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks Ryan |

Since you have changed almost everything, try using a different
cabinet. Probably the wires/plugs coming from the cabinet's reset/power buttons are shorting. If it is driver related, it would occur immediately after some event, and not randomly. Try to identify this event. It could be anything from running an app to plugging a device. |

It does seem incredibly random, in fact Im sure at one point the power
just kept recycling during the bios loading. however saying that, Ive changed it to not recycle but to freeze on blue screen and it appears that the error message is page_fault_in_non_paged_area Do you guys think that this could have somethign to do with a power short?
