Re: Reboot several times a day

HI Gerry,

The sigverif run was the default. System files only. The overall counts
looked like yours, just reversed as far as signed and unsigned.

Auto restart is still off. I am planning to leave it off, at least for the
time being.

I haven't had a stop error since the one I last sent you. But this has
happened before. I can go for a week or two with everything running and
then, wham. It starts again. I have tried over and over to deduce a pattern
but have found none.

Here are the HD Tune Health reports on the 4 HDs that are on all the time
(the USB units are rarely powered on):

The only thing unusual about the health reports that I noticed is that the C
drive shows no temperatures. The other 3 do. The C drive is the first one
in the above list.

There seem to be two errors and from looking at the event log, 2 stop codes.
One is for a device driver and the other is for random access memory. No
way to predict the amount of time after bootup. I have been up for about 12
hours now without a failure. Have gone up to 20 hours after boot before a
failure occurred. Other times it's 10 minutes.

Can't remember if I mentioned but I have downloaded the MS memory exercise
utility and it shows no failures. I know I did mention that I swapped memory.

Thanks.
