Have a machine running XP Pro and it has had issues for some time.
This is an AMD based machine that my wife mostly uses. Isn't overly
loaded as far as software is concerned and does have all recent
patches and no viruses to speak of.
Anyhow, quite often, this machine will look up or will simply reboot
on its own. This happens whether there is a user at the station or
not. Just random! Kind of strange behavior and I am trying to figure
out what is causing it. Was thinking of just reloading the OS or
doing a repair, but beforeso, I started to wonder if it was beyond
that and maybe a hardware issue causing it? Could it be? Could this
be a sign of a faulty power supply? I have had power supplies act up
before, but not necessarily in this fashion. What are your thoughts
on that? Any thoughts on what to check? Would hate to reload or
repair just ot have the behavior continue. Any thoughts to the best
fix to this?
Thanks much for any and all help you all can give me. Hope I can get
it figured.
Heat can sometimes cause this symptom. Check the fans?
