Hi scottbryan724 -

Do you have your XP CD - If you do, then there is a fix I have used -

Thank You -

I guess that I don't understand...how you could extract that posted item...if the system constantly reboots.

Let's try this.

Download/install BlueScreenView, http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html.

Double-click BlueScreenView.exe file.

When scanning is done, Edit/Select All...then File/Save Selected Items.

Save the report as BSOD.txt.

Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content and paste it into your next reply.

To disable automatic restart on system failure do the following:
Right click My Computer
Click on Properties
System Properties window will appear
select the Advanced Tab
Under Startup and Recovery click on Settings
Under system failure uncheck automatically restart
click Ok
You can also choose to write a large dmp file on failure, do not do this
unless you know how to diagnose using a large dmp file or you may become
frustrated really quickly.

i have xp cd i tried a fix i found on the web it didnt seem to work..i mean the actually fix wasnt working..let me clarify that its not a boot problem like most post about it are

i didnt say it constantly reboots i just said it reboots it actually doesnt happen often its happened maybe 4 times in the last week and half and it happens out of no where

bluescreen view is what i used to post the info that i did

i already have it set not to restart on crash but it does so anyway

This is a hardware problem you are having.

Try to reseat or replace the RAM, if the issue still presists
you need to replace the motherboard.
