My PC is restarting every few hours which is starting to annoy me...

In the Event Viewer I get this:
Code: 
EVENT ID:1001

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x1000008e (0xc0000005, 0xb36e2d1b, 0xb24ce8b4, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini030108-02.dmp.

On XP SP2

I'm really stuck so.. anyone? :confused:
 
How about you try providing full system specs and some more details as to the symptoms... when it began, if it co-incided with a hardware/software install, any other points worth noting etc etc. :)
 
AMD 2800+ @ stock
GeForce FX5700 Ultra
2GB 3200 G-skill ram - tried switching RAM slots for both modules
ABIT KD7 mb
2x 40GB maxtor - both tested with HDtune for errors.
Creative X-Fi Fatality
XP SP2

New installs:
Avast! antivirus (after it was starting to do this...)

No warnings. Just instant restart like someone would press the reset switch every 2-8 hours. No slowing down, no errors, no blue screens!

Nothing else tbh...

Newest driver I installed was Nvidia169.21 drivers when they first came out, before that it was the beta x-fi drivers for XP..
 
Ok I did the legwork for you and have found this which may help: http://forums.hostmatters.com/archive/index.php/t-6224.html

On Windowx XP (so may be the same on 2000)

My Computer > Control Panel > System

Go to

Advanced > Start up and Recovery > Settings

The info for writing a report and stopping the auto reboot are under System Failure.

To make actual use of them is another matter. Microsoft's website has a long list of what they call 'stop errors' that offer possible solutions. In my experience they're not the most helpful, and often don't list the error.

Click to expand...

As it says, untick the "automatically reboot" option in the Startup & Recovery settings. That may be it... I just confirmed the setting is also present under Vista so give it a try. :)
 
Thanks for the quick replys!

I've already tried this option and searched arround google for a few days with no luck or fix to this problem :(
 
Ohh, yes

12/10/32A <-- Very old CD writer. although wrote a CD with it without any problems an hour ago!
 
Well read this thread: http://www.winportal.com/chat_sin.asp?ObjectID=7515

I noticed a trend of "I have a Plextor", and now that you've just said you have one that's sending a few alarm bells ringing. Try turning your PC off and disconnecting your Plextor and then boot the PC back up. Leave it running for as along as possible and see if the problem re-occurrs... or hopefully dissappears. if it's the latter, we have our culprit. :)
 
It's still restarting with the writer fully unpluged and it's the only optical/removable storage device.
I thought it maybe was the power supply but i've even replaced that with no luck..

Eek!
 
I repaired my XP install, it replaced all the system files and now I get a 'tcpip.sys' bluescreen randomly..

I debuged the minidump and @ the bottom it says:

BugCheck 7E, {c0000005, b3d425c8, b95bab34, b95ba830}

***** Debugger could not find nt in module list, module list might be corrupt, error 0x80070057.

Probably caused by : Unknown_Image ( ANALYSIS_INCONCLUSIVE )

I downloaded mem-test and will run it tomorrow morning for a day to see what results I get.
