Hi,
 
I recently have been a problem with my cpu rebooting  
itself. The error I get is Windows\Minidump\Mini100104-
01.dmp So, I went into to change the Page File as  
suggested before. I did the following.
 
1.  Set Page File to 0, ok your way out and reboot.  Then  
follow the same procedure and reset the Page File to  
System Managed File.
 
The next day it happened again.
 
So then I decided to set to No Page File. When I rebooted  
my cpu and set it to System Manage. I received a prompt  
asking me if I wanted to overwrite the C:\Pagefile.sys I  
said yes. I assuming I am suppose to delete this file but  
when and how would I do this before I set my Page File to  
System Managed?
 
When I hit system managed it gives me a minimum of 2MB  
and Currently Allocated to 335.
 
I even went to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=kb;EN-US;q317277 and downloaded the patch to no  
avail.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
