Help diagnosing problem - Error screen flash then reboots
Last response: in Systems
I built a new system friday and 3 times the blue screen with white letters appear for a split second and the system reboots. Not under any load in particular and the pc does not appear to be running hot. After playing Doom3 for a while the temps don't appear to be over 40C.
The first time XP recognized the error and created an error report to send to MS. The last two times, reboots and XP doesn't notice on restart.
Any ideas on how to go about tracing/diagnosing this. Afraid of being 1/2 hour into a word doc and bang....
Any help appreciated.
