My PC constantly crashes when accessing the Internet even
with a new install of XP with SP/1 and all other
components replaced or checked. The PC reboots everytime
before I get a chance to view the blue error screen
message. If I could read the message, maybe I could
figure out what is wrong. Is there a way to prevent the
re-booting so I can see what the errors are?

HELP!

Disable Automatically Restart option (Right-click My Computer -> select
Properties -> switch to Advanced tab -> click Settings under Startup and
Recovery -> uncheck Automatically Restart option -> OK everything).

Check Event Viewer (Start - > Settings -> Control Panel - > Administrative
Tools - > Event Viewer) for possible errors.

Good Luck!

By default, XP is configured that when a system failure is encountered
the system automatically restarts.
To prevent the system from automatically restarting:

Right click on My Computer > Properties > Advanced tab.
Click the [Settings] button in the [Startup and Recovery] section.
Remove the checkmark from [Automatically Restart] in [System Failure]
section.

This may provide valuable clues to shutdown issues.


Aloso scan your system with latest virus definitioned antivirus.
