Re: crashing problem ? - crash.jpg (0/1) - crash.jpg

Ahhhhh that is a hardware conflict at the bios level.
try resetting the CMOS via the jumper
or you could try a simpler way that often works set bios switches for 'PNP os installed'
and 'Reset configuration data' to yes.(if they are there)they may be worded differently.

You may have a damaged piece of hardware

or your bios battery went dead and enabled defaults which included integrated sound or
something else.

I expect someone here will have a good idea about this...

As of yesterday, my PC running WinXP has started crashing (rebooting)
pretty regularly every 10-30 minutes. Even if I am not using it and
just leave it on. I haven't added/removed any software or hardware
recently so it seems to be just out of the blue. System had been fine
for months prior.

I've attatched a picture of the system message that flashes for a
quick second just as it crashes.

Good try on that pic....no attachments here


Any clues there?

Could it be CPU overheating? it's an AMD AthlonXP 2200 about 2 years
old. It's running about 55C during light use or idle.

Could it be symptomatic of CPU or mem failure?

Thanks for any ideas!


what does the event viewer say?
turn off 'reboot on errors' in 'start up/ recovery' from- system -in control panel.


the pic had attatched as a seperate message... here is a better pic
anyway.

I followed your suggestion of turning of "reboot on errors" the
system still crashed, but this time the error message screen stayed up
until I rebooted it on my own (thus this better picture)

ideas??

thanks
