why does Sandra reboot?

[Techno]

Hi,

I was just thinking of downloading the Sandra benchmark for the memory test. Every time i run it just as its about to show me the score. the system reboots. I can't figure it out. it has happened 2 times. The System is running perfectly except for that damn bench mark going wacky... any kewl wahts wrong?

System is a Athlon XP 1700 (not overclocked), Soyo Dragon 3 256MB unbuffered DIMMS, Geforce 3 golden sample.. blah blah blah...

why does it cause a reboot!!!!!!???!?!?!?

When I run the "motherboard info" & "cpu & bios info" on my other system (8k7a & 1.45GHz) it locks up. I have no problems on my rig, lol.

i have no idea... But the memory benchmark always causes my system to lock/stopresponding

I got a fix for you.

DONT RUN SANDRA.

if you system's running fine then let it be.😕

What Budman said. I wouldn't be too concerned unless other things caused reboots
