Hello,

I recently upgraded my system and
the problems began shortly after.

I desperately need any help to solve
this problem which is not only
annoying, but costing me time and
lost files. My system reboots without warning.
No matter what I am doing, sometimes I am on
line,writing a letter, answering an email
burning a cd, no matter without warning it
reboots and I lose everything that I worked
on at that particular time.

I have checked the cooling system...OK
I have checked to make sure all chips
and cards are installed properly...OK



Also at various times I get the following
error messages:
Windows GPF error 0028:FFFFFFCO
GRF error 0028: FFFFFFFF

I assume this is the Address the
rebooting problem occurs.
My System details are as follows:

CPU Model AMD 80x86-Compatible MMX 3DNow!
(AuthenticAMD)
Managed Physical RAM 351.4 MB
OS Name Windows 98
OS Version 4.10, Build 2222 (A)
Hard Drive Sizes 27.95 GB, 1.19 GB
Serial Ports 1
Parallel Ports 1
Printer Name Lexmark 1020 Color Jetprinter

Any help would be appreciated

Thank You

Tom Eleam
 
You might try the win95/8 forum. Suspect its a hardware (eg memory?) problem - but would need details of 'recent upgrade'.
 
Windows XP has a setting that shuts off the computer when it detects an error.

My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Settings

Under system failure, remove the check box for "System Failure, Automatically Restart."
