Automatic reboot if CPu maxes 100% use

Rebootalot · 12-03-2002, 05:26 PM

Hello,my computer seems to have this new nasty habbit of rebooting if the cpu maxes(i.e. I run Win Media Player and am on the net etc) Just lately started happening. Im running a 1 gig Duron processor, 20 gig HD that has 16.9 gigs free (after i formatted thinking i was virus infested) Soundblaster Live! Value sound card, Nvidia Geforce 2 Vid card, Biostar M7VKD motherboard(had to check on that one). Any help possible is greatly appreciated if any other info is needed let me know. Im not sure if it's an Operating System problem or not. :angry2:

It sounds like you are getting an error and you have reboot on error enabled. Check the event log, there should be an error logged. You can also turn off reboot on error by right clicking on My Computer, select Advanced, then Startup and Recovery. This will allow you to see the blue screen with the error.
