Re: System Reboots

Repeat and amplify...
With Auto Restart disabled, I have received several blue screen Stops.
Some have indicated memory dump, but this latest blue screen does not
indicate a memory dump.
I got this: 0x00000067 (0x00000001, 0x0000000D, 0xC0000005, 0x00000000)

(New Note) Prior to that blue screen I had upgraded BIOS and was
disappointed
that I still got that blue screen within about 2 hours after the upgrade.
Now, (next
day), I left the machine on overnight and it had not rebooted. That's over
a period
of about 15 hours. Maybe that BIOS upgrade has solidified...

The machine reboots itself occasionally.
I'm waiting for an AMI BIOS update. While looking into Setup I noticed
the
Primary Graphics Adapter was PCI. Since there is no PCI adapter, I
changed that
to "On Board AGP".

It's up and running, waiting to see if it reboots again. Any thoughts as
to whether or
not this change I made will have any effect?

If it still reboots open Control Panel - System and go to the Advanced
tab. Click on the Settings button in the Startup and Recovery
(bottom) section of the Window. In the Startup and Recovery window
click on the checkbox for "Automatically restart" to clear it if it is
selected, then click on OK and Apply as needed to exit.

That should put an end to the sporadic reboots. However they may be
replaced by a "Blue Screen Of Death" STOP error message. If that does
happen then the contents of the STOP error message, including the STOP
code, all 4 parameter values, and any file or module names mentioned
will be a direct clue as to the underlying cause of the problem. Post
that detailed information back here.

Good luck
