Don't be so easy to discount RAM, it does go faulty - but in anycase, when you say you installed a new 80Gb HDD, what exactly did you do ? Did you start with a new install of WinXP or did you clone the old HDisk or what ? Do you know how to turn off the power management features in your BIOS ...

I just answered a similar problem in the General Discussion area, I had a customers Win2K PC do this to me today, however, your problem seems to be slightly different, do you mean to say that your system not only reboots, but also locks up ? If so, at what point does it lock up ? ie.. does it...

This sounds like a RAM problem, I agree with wolluf, take out the RAM and reseat it, or try one stick at a time, or replace it altogether. Also, beware of Norton AV.. if it did detect a virus in the past, it may keep it in Quarantine, and therefore still on your hard disk, so check the...

I had this exact same problem in the field today ... Symptom,- Win2000 starts, gets to Starting Win2000 then screen goes blank and PC restarts. This particular machine was being used as server for a small network and had 2 hard disks installed as master/slave. I removed the second hard...

My feild experience with this type of problem relates to a faulty PSU. CPU overheating causes this problem too, but usually the PC will boot and will run for several minutes before restarting or shutting down (when the CPU heats up). If it restarts immediately it is usually the PSU. I've also...

Shutting down regularly, is the best thing you can do for a PC, especially those running Win98, those running 2000 Server and XP are in a seperate category, but still a good idea.(except for servers on a UPS) The problem is well known with 98 - memory leakage... Try it... Cold boot your Win98...

This thread seems all over the place.. I network these suckers every day, for a P2P it's really quite simple, Home Or Pro makes no difference, just remember that. Don't use the Network Wizard, do it manually, Right Click Network Places, Advanced - Change Network ID. First make sure BOTH...
