My windows is rebooting on its own! I check the even viewer and it says this:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001e (0xc0000005, 0xa0013251, 0x00000001, 0x7fffa6d0). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: C:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini111501-02.dmp.

What programs are you running when it does this?
What are you doing at the time?
Is it random?

Mine does the same (except i'm in win XP)
Not sure, but I think it's my mobo that's causing the trouble (I've heard much stories about K7 Masters causing this kind of problem).

Check you powersupply and make sure you mobo isn't defective...

Try this. I bet it works

Put your memory Timings to "safe" in the bios, and throttle your cpu down to 100/100 cpu and ram FSB reboot and see what happens, if your problem goes away I bet its your power supply. If its a cheap one or even a low-end 300 watter it could be causing you troubles. I recently encountered this with a k7s5a I have around me. it would reboot for no reason about every 1-4 hours. ALL THE TIME, it was really quite frustrating. But that was it. I clocked everything down so it used less power and BINGO! complete stability.

I've built 9 systems now with k7s5a's in them. I've only seen this once, but if you go to www.hardforums.com or ocworkbench.com you will find a few other people who have encountered it too. it seems thats the k7s5a's are pretty picky about there power supplies. Its unfortunate that the mobo is priced so cheaply that alot of people on a VERY tight budget buy them while skimping on things that are easy to forget like powersupplies.
