randomn restarts

I have windows XP pro SP2 installed, I am getting randomn irregular restarts, I cant seem to find the problem ive installed all updates for windows, When windows loads from a random restart it comes up with a send error report saying "windows has recovered from a serious error" so im guessing this rules out psu problems seeing as its a windows error, If anyone could give me any info on how to solve this problem I would be very grateful.


thnx in advance

Have you made any alterations to the Windows Paging File, or edited the Memory Management sub-key in the registry? Under System properties --> "Advanced" tab | Performance --> "Settings" button | "Advanced" tab --> Memory usage... is it set to "Programs" or "System cache"?

processor scheduling and memory usage are both set to programs

What's your reply to my other question?...

Have you made any alterations to the Windows Paging File, or edited the Memory Management sub-key in the registry?

Click to expand...

... and have you checked your RAM using Memtest?

ill do that then get bak 2 u

no changes made to memory managment or paging file, I suspected one of the chips of RAM that Ive had from the begining of this setup to be dodgy, I replaced it and then tested each seperatley, I thought I had solved the problem by swapping it out till 5 mins ago when the pc restarted .

I was looking under system properties in control panel and found the startup and recovery section, I unchecked the box restart after system failure I reckoned that next time my pc crashed instead of restarting I would get a BSOD, well I was right I got a BSOD I wrote down the info-

A problem has been detected and windows haws been shutdown to prevent damage to your system

I hope this can help with resolving this issue, I might just buy a 512mb Chip of RAM and a new HD and get this over with.

thnx in advance

neone?

You may be required to increase the Vcore if OC'ing your processor. That looks like the typical symptoms of an unstable CPU OC. Did you run Prime95?

I used to get that BSOD when my processor chip didn't have enough Vcore or was at a wall.

But, because you have a PIII system in your sig, your PC likely has bad caps. Did you check the caps on the motherboard?

no oc here ill check caps then get back
