I would think the first thing would be a virus check - several of them lead
to the symptoms you are reporting.

After that check on environmental problems (excessively low humidity, for
example, is often a problem in the winter).. Has the location of the system
been changed recently?

Finally, I would check for hardware problems. If your hard disk is in the
process of failing, or your CPU overheating due, for example, to a failure
of the cooling system, this could also lead to random booting.

Hi,

Windows XP crashes randomly. It does not matter what application I am
running, playing games (especially when saving or loading new scene),
without any warning it just blinks off and restarts. I do not get
any error messages, no STOP signs, 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

I have re-installed XP hoping it might be corrupted OS, but new XP OS
randomly crashes, blinks off and restarts.
I do not even have any dump file created no folder C:\windows\minidump
exists.
Dr. Watson can't even intercepts this crash, although I do have the
user.dmp
file created in the all users\microsoft\drwatson folder.

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
Ahmed
