System spontaneous restarts in XP

[Liam Stanley]

For the last few weeks I've had this recurring problem
where my computer restarts its self completely
randomely. The problem was apparantly something to do
with a folder called 'Minidump' which was in the windows
folder. Could someone give me some advice about how to
over come this problem. Thanks.

A mini dump is usually a memory issue that causes a
crash. It's saved to that folder so you can fine the error.

Have you lokked at the Event Log to see what is causing problem? Try
turning off the setting to 'Restart on error'. The Minidump folder is where
it stores the default minidump file created on error, it is NOT the problem.
