Desktop Specs (all with LATEST drivers::
Windows XP Pro (full install)
Epox 8KHA+ Motherboard
Athlon 1800+ chip
32 MB ATI RAge video card
256 Mb DDR Kingston RAM
2 Hardrives: 1.) 15 GB(master)(Win 98), FAT 32, 7200 RPM IBM Deskstar; 2.) 100 GB(slave)(Win XP), 7200 RPM Western Digital, runs the other format Wn XP recommends
Suspected Software Crashes?: McAffee Firewall 4.0; BlackIce Defender; Norton Systemworks 2002
===============================================================================
My desktop and new laptop running WIN XP Both RESET themselves by powering down completely then rebooting....it's like if you pushed the reset button on the computer!
This happens randomly during 8 hrs of operation for no apparent reason when using any a multitude of applications. My desktop crashes (average of 3 times a day), though, MORE than my laptop (average of 1 time a day).
Since both of my computers have different motherboards, I suspect the problem may be the WIN XP being unstable by itself OR with some active software (i.e. firewalls?), or ...hardware?........My desktop when running Win 98 on my smaller 15 GB HD does NOT reset/crash!.....it's only when running Win XP on the bigger 100 GB HD.
I'm sure I'm NOT the only person having these problems as I have 2 NEW computers and they BOTH randomly crash!!!
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE SINCERELY APPRECIATED!! Thanks in advance!!
