Re: Reboot several times a day

Leland

In December 2005 I did a clean install with my Windows XP
Home Edition CD purchased in December 2002.

The Health Reports from HD Tune and the surface scan are
more germane to the issue in hand. However, what purpose do
all these hard drives serve. The usage in any is not high.

What is the make and model of your motherboard?

Hope this helps.
