Re: XP Media Center 2005 reboots on it's own with NO error messages

That sounds like a hardware error of some kind, either power supply or
motherboard. Or maybe a heat issue? Could be a heat issue with your display
adapter...try opening the case and making sure none of your fans are clogged
with dust. If its all clean, my next choice would be the power supply...

Ok, this one is wierd.

Media Center 2005 loads fine, runs for days as long as we do not start the
"media center". Once we do, ANY program (even view slideshow) will run for
between 10-20 minutes then the system just reboots.

I have already turned off the "automatically restart" Not only does it
still restart on it's own, but I have checked ALL of the event logs.
NOTHING.

NO error message displayed. (no blue screen)
NO "recovered from serious error" after reboot
NO event logs

OK... help?
