Re: Reboot several times a day

Leland

The SP2 update was issued in August 2004.

I intended to mention but forgot. My figures are only for unsigned drivers.
Using sigverif if you click on Advanced you can get a list of other unsigned
files.

What about the Health Reports from HD Tune?

Is automatic restart still turned off? Can you copy the latest Stop Error
message. Are they always identical? How long do they occur after booting
the machine. It could be a hardware problem e.g. overheating and may not
be a driver. How much dust is there inside the box. Used compressed air
to remove. Do all fans appear to be working OK?

Hope this helps.
