I'm running Win 2K Pro SP4
My computer has recently decided to go through a reboot procedure at
startup. It does not do it all the time, but when it does, it can go on for
an hour. What happens is this, it goes through the entire boot sequence,
then when I get the icon that shows internet activity (the 2 computers that
light up to show activity coming and going), it goes to a black screen, then
the machine reboots. Sometimes, it does this once or twice...Sometimes like
tonight, it can go 20-30 times before it stays running. Occasionally, I get
the blue screen of death with an error message. Someone told me it was
because my printer is on when the machine boots up. I've tried shutting the
printer off and even disconnecting the USB cable, but it still happens. I
have disabled "automatically reboot on errors" with no change. I have run in
safe mode and checked the log files. There are some really stupid entries
in there. For example, one error says this "There was an error starting
(pick something) The error was there was no attempt to start this service
since the
last reboot". Well, if no attempt was made to start this, how could there
have been an error starting this? I love the intuitive help you get from
within Windows, it's just great.
Here are a few others:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000007f
(0x00000008, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). Microsoft Windows 2000
[v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: C:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini092304-12.dmp.
After about 30 million cases of PAGEPAGEPAGE in the dump file, there was
this:
P ^ ` P" $ (' @ (g j ? @ A (G?

That was followed by another bunch of gibberish.
Yet more:
WMI ADAP was unable to load the PerfProc performance library because it
threw an exception: 0x80041001
And still more:
Unable to read the disk performance information from the system. Disk
performance counters must be enabled for at least one physical disk or
logical volume in order for these counters to appear. Disk performance
counters can be enabled by using the Hardware Device Manager property pages.
Status code returned is data DWORD 0.
I disabled disk performance because it was generating error messages, now
disabling it generates an error message.
