I have Windows xp Service pack 2, 2GB ram for 250GB HDD. Recently, I got blue screen error and just a few mins back the machine restarted while I was simply checking my mails.
I checked event viewer and found a couple of warnings and errors. Could someone please go thru and let me know what the issue is.

Warning1:
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address --- (and some numbers here instead of the '-' I've inserted). The following error occurred:
The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.

Warning2:
The server was unable to add the virtual root '/Test/Test' for the directory 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Test' due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. The data is the error code.

Error1:
The adfs service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

Error2:
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the airtel. OUC service to connect.

Error3:
The airtel. OUC service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I hope the above info is enough. Please help me out. I don't want to change my OS coz I don't have issues with using XP 🙂
 
I feel like I've seen the semaphore error before all over the place.

It could just be getting old and failing. Get your files backed up ASAP, then it should be time for troubleshooting, ie, run a diskcheck, memory test, blow dirt out of pc, etc etc.

All MS support for XP ends within a year, btw...so it may be getting to that time to replace.

Finally, this would probably be better off in Computer Help subforum, you may want to ask a mod to move it for you. Good luck 🙂
