rebooting

[Andrew P. Follett]

2.4G/512 RAM
Win 2000 sp4

Machine has run great for 9 months, 24/7. Started having problems with
explorer 6.0 and Outlook shutting down with the "has performed an error"
message. Also got a few blue screens about this or that memory location not
being found/read. Then machine started rebooting once/twice day.

I have Norton Antivius up to date. Checked several times anyway for sasser
virus. None found.

Found pwr supply fan inop so I replaced it thinking machine was getting hot.
Left cover off for insurance.

Machine is still rebooting once/twice per day.

Does anyone know of some way I can check my RAM for problems
reading/writing? Any programs for that?

Any other ideas?

Andy

Hi Andrew,

Try running an oline scan at www.antivirus or
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/

Chances are you have some intrusion.

I have had that problem and was advised by pss to reinstall Explorer. They were accurate. Email the Explorer team for particulars.
