spontaneous reboot
Greetings,
I have a P4 machine with Intel mobo and kingston memory. It has been running nice for over a year. No problems or abnormal behavior. Recently, I had to strip it down and re-install Win2000 on it (for another user to use). It has been working fine for over two weeks. Today, it started spontaneous reboots. It will be setting at the desktop, then poof. Start rebooting. I shut it off for over an hour (while at lunch). Powered it up, and after sitting at the desktop for a few minutes (5 or 10) poof. reboot. What can be causing this behavior? What should I start looking at first ? thanks, Darryl

Right click mycomputer/select properties/advanced/startup and
recovery/ uncheck "Automatically Reboot'. You should then start seeing error messages, which may provide clues as to what is failing. Also, you can check the log files, which are listed immediately below, for any information. "Darryl" wrote in message ... Greetings, I have a P4 machine with Intel mobo and kingston memory.

Do the log files say anything useful?
