Random crash/reboots with XP Pro

[DKNYSprt95]

Does anyone have teh ability to read error codes? My computer would seem like someone pressed the 'reset' button in the middle of something, it's really agitating. Then XP tells me of a 'serious error recovery'

Error Signature:

BCCode : 50 BCP1 : F1CF1000 BCP2 : 00000001 BCP3 : BF95D7A8
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 0_0 Product : 256_1

Error Reports Contents:

C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini042803-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Peter\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml

Any ideas?

Also, how do i access the error 'log' in Windows XP?

It might be your PSU. Do you know how to use a multimeter? If you do you should check the voltages on your PSU. It could also be your mobo or cpu, but I would check the PSU voltages first since you described the problem as it "would seem like someone pressed the 'reset' button".

You can get to the event viewer from administrative tools in the control panel

You can view that dump file by opening a command prompt and typing
dumpchk.exe C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini042803-01.dmp

Update XP because it has a bug which keeps reporting that your system recovered from a serious error even though you shutdown normaly.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know if the PSU voltages are going to be consistantly low all the time, or are there going to be voltage dips that causes this problem? If I used a multimeter and if this is the case, I'd probably not get anywhere. I went to MBM5 and the voltages look pretty much constant. Tried to do a 1-second interval log of every reading, but when it crashes the file becomes corrupt. The PSU is a Enermax Whisper, MB is gigabyte, CPU is AMD 1800

Thanks
