Unwarned Restart

Post by ILoveAlliO »

Hi everyone. I'm posting regarding a computer that i just built. For some reason, everytime something is installed and if too many programs are being utilized at the same time, the computer reboots suddenly and comes back up saying that windows has recovered from a fatal error. I have then noticed that after connecting my webcam, it was also giving the same error message after the random reboot. This problem continued on when i connected the wireless g usb adapter. One thing that i also noticed was that when i would go into my hardware profile, the drivers for a Standard USB Host Controler is not available which is why it has a question mark in yellow to the left of it. Does this have anything to do with my computer randomly rebooting? If so, where do you suggest i get the drivers for this? The CD that should install the drivers said that it should automatically come with SP1 for windows XP, which has already been installed, along with SP2. The specs for my computer are: nVidia 7800 GTX KO Edition Video Card Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 Processor Sony DVD-RW Burner Normal CD Reader Floppy Drive 4 Gigs of Ram ThermalTake Tai-Chi w/out water cooling -- Thanks

i have had this happen many times before it's usually because of your "newly" installed hardware did you recently install a new camera or scanner? try uninstalling some hardware and programms you never use if you don't get enough time to do that try running the computer in safe mode if you have a restore point restore your computer then check your computer for viruses and errors then do a full defrag and error scam if you know how to do that. uninstall sp2 and sp1 the're NOT important. then i suggest you remove all your hardware and boot computer (going for extremes). put it all back and then start computer. if you have a startup disc and none of the above works type in C:\format and foloow the prompts.
Yeah!! fourteen and going on cryptanologist!!

Xitech has fallen in love with your computer! ^_^ Ahem. Ahywho, check the overclocking settings for the video card and the processor. With higher end AMD models, I have found that sometimes the smallest change in speeds above a certain point will make the system rediculously unstable. Hope this helps.
