Abrupt Restart

[Christian]

I have just upgraded to service pack 2 and now when my
computer will abruptly restart. There are no warnings,
sounds or pop up windows... it just reboots. The only
programs that were open at the time were trillian and the
bit torrent client. Any ideas?

thanks!

Hi

If you don't see any error messages, right click on My Computer, select
Properties and then the Advanced tab. Click on Settings under Startup and
Recovery and disable 'Automatically restart'. Next time your PC reboots,
you should see a Blue Screen. Could you please post the Stop Code that
accompanies that BSOD back here? With that your problem could be isolated.

Thank you for the quick reply!

I recorded the error message and it reads:

stop: 0x00000050 (0XBF010066, 0X00000000, 0XBF010066,
0X00000002)

FYI I also have Mc Afee Virus scan and Firewall running
on my machine. They are up to date as well.

any help you can provide would be greatly appreicated...
thanks again!
