incom 0 Posted June 22, 2000 Hi, I have been trying to solve this problem over the weekends, but still unable to come up with a solution. Here is my system configuration: - Celeron 566 (SL46T) o/c 850 using 1.65v - ABit VT6X4 (supports ATA66) - Spectek PC100 128 mb ram - IBM 10.1 gb 7200rpm HDD - Quantum 3.2 gb 5400rpm HDD - Creative OEM TNT2 value (M64) - Creative AWE 64 Gold - Intel PCI 10/100 NIC - 3Com ISA NIC - OEM Iomega internal 100 mb zip drive - Teac 24x IDE cd-rom - Internal Compro CD-R drive with PCI SCSI card - and the usual stuff for a complete PC, plus 1 front casing fan, 2 HDD coooler, 1 slot cooler and 1 Golden ORB. Previously running Win98 with no problems, and even with Winnt 4. Now have re-formatted the HDDs and installed Windows 2000 Professional. Installation and boot up with no problems. All devices using drivers provided by Windows 2000 Professional. I am now facing the problem of the whole system will suddenly reboot by itself. The problem does not has a specific timing when it occurs, which means it occurs randomly. But it occurs each time I boot up and logged in to Win2K. Anyone came across this problem, or knows the solution to this problem, can you pls enlighten me. One thing I noticed is that, Windows 2000 Professional version, reads the HDDs quite intensively. I have tested almost all the hardware and the power supply unit, and suspect is the problem with the drivers, but could not figure out which are the ones giving problems. I can be contacted @ this email address incom@netnet.com.sg. Thanks Regards Share this post Link to post
stephp 0 Posted June 22, 2000 Yes currently i'am getting this problem. I installed drivers for my tnt2, then uninstalled them, and installed older drivers, but during the uninstall it didn't remove those files, so now filemon is showing my tnt2 accessing files from two different files. I also have a event error which is winspool.exe, this causes my system to lag 15 seconds when im in windows. Philip Share this post Link to post
SeBA 0 Posted June 22, 2000 Well, you certainly have some driver problems. Usually display drivers are the ones which make a computer reboot. Be sure to install all the latest drivers you can find for your peripherials. I had a VERY unstable system, then installed ALi AGP drivers (I have an ALI based motherboard) and the latest Matrox drivers and the problems went away. Share this post Link to post
