Hey,
This is my first post, obviously.. I know you all are very knowledgeable about computers, as you all take them apart and mess with them, and anyone who can overclock a computer and have it not explode/overheat has to know what they're doing.
With that, my problem is this. I bought my computer from a company (DIT) who sells individual parts, but you can have them build you a computer from parts. They did that for me, and now I have a computer that would be really fast and great, except in the middle of performing everyday operations it reboots. Frequently. In fact, it did so about 3 times just trying to get to this forum. As you can tell, it's really messed up. I don't know what could be causing this, heat, drivers.. The reason I suspect drivers is because it blue screens every time and several times I've seen something about drivers in the split second that screen is up, and something like "NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", and I've seen something about bad pages or some such..
Also, sometimes when it boots into windows my graphics driver will die and stop feeding to my monitor. About a third of the time when this happens, a program called VPU Recover will reset my graphics accelerator and I can use my computer again. Of course, it never fails to reboot sometime shortly after that.
What do you think? Is there anything else I can provide you with that would help? I'm using XP Home.
Thanks a bunch to anyone who can provide some advice.
