sudden reboot

[FRANCESCO]

In the last days sometimes windows suddenly shuts
down and reboot. Now i've unchecked the option to rebbot
in case of system error so, i hope, i'll be able to
understandf what happens. Recenly i've changed RAM
modules...is it possible that hardware trubles are able
to corrupt system files? I've updated VIA driver, BIOS
ecc. My system is AThlon XP 2500+ (not overclocked), ASUS
A7V600, 2 modules RAM 512 DDR400, HD IBM 120 GB (2
partitions: 20+100), HD maxtore 30 GB, Audigy 2, radeon
9600 256 MB. In bios now i've set AGP in auto, disabled
fast write. I hope my system will be stable. But i don't
understand if is a software trouble (corrupting
files....why?) or hardware trouble mimickin software
problems. Thanx

Most likely you have bad or not properly installed RAM chips.
Bad RAM is a common cause for OS bluescreens and reboots.


After the machine reboots, do you get a popup asking you to send in an error
report ?
The crash analysys service will analyze the crashes and tell you the most
likely cause of the problem.

Hi!
As you have unchecked the option to reboot then you must get an error
message when you reboot your machine.Which will help you to solve the
problem.Sometimes faulty RAM creates lots of problems.See the event
viewer also.
