Post subject: random reboots Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>newusers (more info?)
My computer will randomly reboot and go to the screen that states windows had
to restart. It gives me a choice of starting in safe mode, safe mode command
prompt, normal start up, last best know config , etc... whatever I choose it
continues to go back to this same screen. If I turn the power off
completely, it then will start up normally, sometimes. Any suggestions?

First stop the automatic rebooting so you can get a Stop Error. Then you can
research the Stop Error here:

Sorry, I forgot to tell you how to stop the automatic restarts.
Control Panel>System>Advanced tab>Startup and Recovery>Settings and under
System Failure uncheck "Automatically Restart".

Thanks mikeyhsd, I have a prgram like that, Asus probe. Everything checks
out ok. I think it is a hardware issue. One of my cd drives I believe. I
took them out and I will see what happens.

Malke
That works if you can get to Control Panel. An alternative is to keep
pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure. If you are using a
wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only.
