Hello guys,
I have been facing this problem since the past few months. I have tried fixing many things but to no use.
I would appreciate if you guys cud help me on this.
plz find all the symptoms mentioned in detail so that it is easier to pin-point to the exact problem.
My machine config:
Windows XP
1 GB RAM
AMD Athlon Proc
ASUS Mother board - K8VMX
Symptoms:
--> My machine restarts automatically within a few minutes of my starting it. This happens after windows is loaded.
--> If it doesn't get restarted within a few minutes (say 15 mins), then it never gets restarted at all. Even if I keep it on for days together. It works perfectly fine.
--> whether it restarts or not after I start it is absolutely random.
--> I tried reading the minidump file but everytime the reason is some different application or some windows dll. There is no constant issue with any of the applications.
--> When I login to safe mode this problem never occurs at all (so can we rule out RAM here??)
--> I tried using system restore, but since this problem has been occuring unchecked for a long time thr is not much tht can be done thr.
--> I have repaired my OS too. but no help thr either.
I hope these symptoms are enough to point out the criminal...
I just want a confirmation if the motherboard is the culprit before I take all the pain of carrying my CPU some 10 kms to get it replaced or fixed.
if you ppl would like me to try out something else plz let me know.
Thanks a lot for ur help.
Sagar.
