XP shutdown on avarage 4 times per hour

[Harmannus]

Hallo,

For half a year a have a new system P4 2.8 Mhz (512Kb, 800, S478) with
WindowsXP Pro (with SP1). Worked fine untill a month ago. Now i am
experiencing shutdowns on avarage 4 times per hour. Meaning that windows
shutsdown and restarts on itself. No error messages what so ever!

1. No accessive multitasking! With even one application open it happens.
2. I (double) checked for virus: nothing found
3. Replaces internal memory.
4. Place internal memory in diffirent banks.
5. Installed the latest motherboard, video en bios drivers
6. Reinstalled windowsXP
7. Instlalled every critical update through windowsupdate.
8. No illegal software or games!

Anybody an idea what is causing this? The motherboard a problem here? It is
a Asus P4P800 Deluxe. Internal memory 2 x 512MB DDR 400

Thanx for any tips!

Regards,
Harmannus

Click on start/right click my computer/properties.
Go to the advanced tab.
Under startup and recovery click on the settings button.
Untick automatically restart under the system failure section.

Now you should receive a blue screen with technical information.
Please post this information.
Please do not leave anything out.

hey Harmannus, somewhere, somehow, long ago i had this prob and i ended

This sounds like a power supply issue. Fan on power supply may not be running, full of dust or just power supply gone bad.

Sounds like my prob Harmannus. BUT,
I have the non deluxe P4P800. Which has
also got 2 512mb simms/dimms. It's either
my TV tuner, thats doing this.(since according to
Event Viewer in XP), it has trouble loading the
drivers, for this Leadtek tuner. BUT the tuner
and the program that came with the tuner do work.

(Or it maybe because this PC has hyperthreading).
And something doesnt like it.

Or it maybe the BIOS update I'm using (1016).

As it didnt do this (reboot) as often. As it has done
lately. What version of the BIOS are you using
at the mo Harmannus? If you have 1016 as well.

It maybe a bug or something in the BIOS itself.

Mine also reboots, nothing no error, I have unticked
reboot and it still reboots! Even if you're in the middle
of doing something.

Check the resources for the Tuner Modem/NIC and
Video/Power Manager. There has to be a conflict somewhere.
Also check the drivers for video/tuner, etc. Be sure you
have xp versions.

Nope definitely not a resource prob or conflict
Les. There's nothing saying this under the device/s,
in XP.

No X's, !'s, or anything like this to say something isnt working.

The drivers and program itself are XP compat, and
were also updated by Leadtek 18/3/04, to solve
the HT prob. (earlier versions of the drivers and
the program from the CD), for the Leadtek Deluxe
TV tuner, caused HT PC's to freeze).

This was confirmed by Leadtek in an email.

The workaround for this, was to open task manager
and click on the WFWIZ process/set affinity, and kill
CPU 0. And, according to Leadtek, the latest versions
of the driver and the program, SHOULD fix this!

Hopefully, it doesn't reboot again! If it does, it will
probably be this BIOS update 1016 for this mobo
that is at fault.
