random shutdowns!
Hi there. Ok I have a kinda unusual and very annoying problem here. . . . with the PC. . . I have my system dual booted with Win98SE and that works fine. But, at any time when I'm on the desktop in Win2000, the system can just turn itself off and back on.
Hi there.
Ok I have a kinda unusual and very annoying problem here....with the PC...
I have my system dual booted with Win98SE and that works fine.
But, at any time when I'm on the desktop in Win2000, the system can just turn itself off and back on.
This has happened with no apparrent pattern.
I can be listening to Winamp, browsing and then it just reboots...or I opened up he Derag program and went to analyse a drive, and it rebooted.
The odd thing is that I can play UT online for ages and it is all fine.
I reseated the drive cables, the RAM, the Processor and the TNT2 card, but it still happens.
The system has a PIII and a Jetway MoBo (VIA chipset).
Any ideas?
I tend to believe the problems are Win2000 related, as Win98 doesn' reboot the system like this.
Any ideas are appreciated here.
Thanks.

fozz,
I can't tell you exactly what's wrong with your system but I suggest that you read the following two pages from Microsoft's KB:
Troubleshooting "Stop 0x0A" Messages in Windows NT http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q165/8/63.ASP?LNG=ENG&SA=ALLKB&FR=0
Descriptions of Bug Codes for Windows NT http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q103/0/59.asp?LNG=ENG&SA=ALLKB&FR=0
Btw, those pages are a good read for anyone running a NT-system...
Good luck!

Anyone,
I just found this site through several others. I realize that many of the posts here are over a year old. I'm running into the exact same issue listed above. Does anyone have or found a solution? Micro$ has virtually nothing on this that I can find. I have done everything listed above and am going to research some info in the Win2k resource kit. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
