Hey all,
Ive been recently having problems with my system (running on XP Home) randomly rebooting. This will occur right after I 'awaken' my computer from Stand-By mode. Its been a growing problem, since I have stringent power settings.
Im going to try to do some more research, but before I do, any of you have any similar experiences? Ideas?
Thanks, any help is appreciated
Maybe Turn off the auto Reboot then it will give u a BSOD and then error codes,
maybe give u some idea whats doing it,
Right click my computer > properties > advanced > startup and recovery settings , untick auto reboot
maybe the rebooting after standby is just a coincidence, i think you should check also that you're not infected with the virus that reboots the computer. check also that you have latest security patches (i think there are 2 of them except SP1) from microsoft or you could use the dcombullator from www.grc.com
it's worth a try :)
good luck!
Possible BIOS bug. A flash update might help.
The other thing to check is that your motherboard supports the 'wake up' options you have enabled - depends on how you are trying to do this.
If the motherboard doesn' t support this, then it will get very confused, and will reboot instead. If your BIOS is out of date, then a reflash may solve this.

That sounds ominously similar to my situation. I've recently installed RH9 on my system, with XP as Primary. Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.Quote:
