Random Reboots

KrisWmr · 04-15-2008, 11:29 AM

My computer randomly reboots itself. No blue screen or warning. It happens at all different times and even if I am not doing anything with my computer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

hi KrisWmr,

Check on this setting and make some changes:

Right Click on My Computer
Click Properties
Select the Advanced tab
Click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery
Remove the check from the Automatically Restart checkbox

Next time it encounters a problem, it will give you an error message rather than restarting. If an error comes up, just post back here.

Thank you I have now done that. I will let you know what the error is next time it wants to reboot.

Okay, My computer rebooted again, but this time I got a blue screen error. The number was 0x0000004e. When I did a search on google for it, most of the answers were for windows XP. I am running Windows 2K SP4.

try running diagnostic on your RAM. d/load Memtest86+ from the link on my sig. below. burn the image into CD. boot from that CD to start the diags.
