Are you using NTFS or FAT32? Is the drive's write cache turned on? Try running chkdsk c: /f changing c: to whatever drive letter you're having problems with.

Well, if you'de turn off the automatic reboot function after a crash (Properties of your computer, advanced page, startup and recovery settings) you might find out what goes wrong. The 'Blue Screen Of Death' will tell you some info on why it crashed.
With this information we can possible find you a solution . . .

another thing you can do is take a look in c:\windows\system32\minidump (may be c:\windows\minidump can't remember which), and take one of the files from there and post it here as an attachment, i'll download it and run it through ms's debugger for you and see what it says  , the files in that folder are what's contained in memory at the time it bluescreened and the debugger can usually tell you what file(s) caused the blue screen which is useful in figuring out what's wrong |

Hi Sephiroth
I don't have the problem that TheMysterio has but I am familiar with C:\Windows\Minidump and have often looked in there but, I just looked for that folder and it's not there now and I don't know why.
I am running XP Pro and I reinstalled the system about two weeks ago and I don't see minidump anymore. Any ideas?
Regards

I'm not Sephiroth but you can change the settings by selecting the properties of your computer, go to the advanced tab, and change the "Write debug information" on the startup and recovery page. Change the setting to "Small memory dump".
I don't know if this is what you ment btw, but still, hope it helps!

The folder is created the first time the computer blue screens. Until it does, it won't be there, so hope it never appears  |
