Hello,
I've got a P4B about 1.5 years old. It works quiet well...yet in the
past two weeks it will randomly reboot without any notice. Also, in
the past few months it will not shutdown, it restarts instead (was
bothered but not concerned).
When it is in the process of booting, it has also rebooted, even
before it has reached the part where win2000 starts loading.
Otherwise, no lock ups or otherwise issues.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
I've cleaned the machine completely.
One suspicion I have is running two maxtor drives master/slave on the
primary IDE drive, that are different models. One is ATA/100 and the
other is ATA/133 both maxtor.
I've replaced the ide cable with a new one. Updated the bios also,
reset the bios. No change.
Thanks in advance.
Victor
