Re: Unexpected restart

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have checked it out, but it seems more a driver issue and seems to be
related to the ATI video card. I do have just installed an ATI Radeon AGP
video card 2400PRO 256 MB (I had an ATI radeon 9600 card installed
previously (128MB) and the PC worked fine. I just wanted some more options).
Anyway, this is the message I got today:
atiok3x2.dll - PageFault in non paged area.
STOP 0x00000050, 0xE3FA42AD, 0x00000000, 0xBF15EB8B, 0x00000001
atiok3x2.dll - Address BF15EB8B base at BF15EB8B DateStamp 4844B4B8

I than restaqrted and now it is working fine
Do you have any idea?
Thanks for your support anyway.

Everynow and than the system restarts. I have unflagged the automatic
restart of windows in the restart options (advance options into systems
properties) and now if there is a problem ('cause I assume there is a
problem) the OS hungs. I have to restart from the puch button to get to OS
again and work. Is there a way to look into any register or logs to find the
possible cause of the problem? If so I do kindly need the path to get to it.
Thanks for your support

Have you verified that the problem is Not hardware related? I have had
this type of behavior from an overheating video card and from a bad
capacitor on the motherboard. You might also have a failing power
supply that is causing the problem.
