Hi,

Windows XP crashes randomly. It does not matter what application I am
running, without any warning it just blinks off and restarts. I do not get
any error messages, no STOP signs, even nothing is logged in the Event Viewer
when I go there to check if anything has been logged.
I check device Manager and all devices are fine, none of them are reported
to have any issues, no device conflicts.

Here is the spc of my Machine:

OS= Windows XP Pro w/SP2 (all patches installed)
CPU= Athlon XP 2600
RAM= 512MB PC2100
Motherboard: Gigabyte 7VAXP Ultra
Video Card: ATI 128MB Radeon 9600XT (latest video card driver)
HD: Primary 20GB (boot & sys drive)
HD: Secondary 80GB

Any suggestion, how I should approach this proplem, it would have been so
much easier if something is logged when the system crashes. Any
tools/utilites I could run?

Thanks
