Random reboots

[andru]

right click "my computer" ---> properties ---> advanced tab

start up/recovery settings ---> set up

under "system failure", UNcheck "autorestart"

now when your xp encounters a fatal error, it'll display the blue screen so you can see what the error is and debug/fix it.

ok done that now if it crashes and i get the bsod do i just reboot and if so how does this debugging thing work?

[kamikazee]

go to your control panel and under administrative tools you will find the event viewer look in the logs you may find a clue to reboots there

ok just found that all the errors are in the system concerning "acpi Bios" trouble
