Subject: automatically shuts down
Date: Tue, 25 May 2004 19:22:43 -0700
I have windows 2000 installed on a Dell Computer. After
about 10 minutes the computer automatically shuts down and
restarts. There is no warning and no evidence of what
caused the shutdown.
Anybody got any ideas?
1. Ensure that you CPU fan is running properly. CPU overheating will reboot
your machine without warning
2. Check for any events in the System Log in Event Viewer, post the full
event here if applicable
3. Ensure that your machine is set to create a full memory dump on system
failure:
Right-click "My Computer" > Advanced tab > Startup and Recovery >
set "Write Debugging Information" to "Complete Memory Dump"
(with this dump you can figure out the cause of a bugcheck error)
