I installed Windows 2000 a few days ago. I got my updates

I ahve like 326 mb Ram
a geforce NVididia 2 2200 or soemthing simillar
1.3 gigahertz processer
a large harddrive

and it spontanieously restarts. It actually restarted while I was attmepting to make this thread the first time. Any help?

buy a new comp

I didnt buy it, its a result of a TON of- its a custom thank you very much

Serious help, anyone?

never worked with W2K so I can't really help

I thought I had an idea, but I can't remember the file you have to check

thnx anyway


the restarts seem completely random as well... a few minutes after starting the thread it did it, then 30 min later it didi it, and hasnt done it since... but it has only been like 20 or 30 minutes

in the meantime, scan your pc for virusses too

I did, and nothign came u[

My dad had the same problem, but that was two eyars ago and he dont remember how to fix it...

that's bad luck

when you're in a session and you hit ctrl+alt+del, can you see your pc generating a lot of winscript or something along those lines?

I had the very same problem once
all I had to do was clean it

What do you mean?

handles 8363
threads 400
process 45


and their is a lot of winscrip runnign as well

well..sounds like a virus....update an antivirus to the latest version and scan again....
though you might need to format and reinstall

Ive reinstalled three times. Virus definitions are updated and nothing is wrong. No spyware is on my comp. Stupid microsoft. Ill just go bk to MEin a little while...

LTA I see 3 possibilities:
1) Processor's Temperature (is it an AMD?)
2) Video Drivers
3) Memory Problems

ooh TOH I know another one

Windows updates

installed any windows service packs lately LTA?

no its a 1.3 gigahertz Athlon

Possibly Video Drivers, i ahvent updated by nVida's in a while...
memory problems i dunno... all this werked fine on my Windows ME installation

uh... yes actually

from windows update center thingajobby

in "run" type that file and there should be an option somewhere "stop making after X seconds"

change it to one if it isn't, cause my pc had the same problem a year or three ago and that was the problem

well those W2K service packs sometimes just flip

get the last detonator pack, just in case...

k.. detonator from the nVidia site?

winscrip didnt run any times other than the last 1, and this 1 it stil hasnt

than disregard what I said

k... 2k is annoying... grrr....

go to XP

Or back to ME

XP home ... thats what i got

I mean I had to blow the dust away from the CPU or however you call it

Isn't that an "AMD Atholon"....?

Ieasier to type that way....

Ieasier ?

yes...detonator pack from the nvidia site...i think...

thanx guys. But I sed f it and went bak to ME and its all bk 2 normal.

there ya go, microsoft

thanx guyz

on second thought ... do update your virusscanner, there's a virus out named "Sassar A" that does what your pc did

ok, thnx

LTA you prefere ME over 2K, 2K aint that great but ME is about the worst I've seen.

still XP Pro is the best I used so far

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Windows 95

well yerss maybe, but it's a close one

trust me on this one, your high exaltedness
