Anyone seen this error before? I got this error with a timer ticking down (from 60 seconds I think) telling me Windows is gonna shut down & I better close all my stuff. Well I couldn't close anything 'cause Explorer.exe had already bit the bullet & only thing I could see was this stupid prompt.Here's my system stats:
 
I have 2 1/2 year old 300w power supply
ABIT BF6 + 850 Celeron/384MB
TNT2/32
Adaptec 29160 SCSI card
Disk 0: Quantum 10KII SCSI = very new [C:\; D:\; E:\;] (Win2K\Programs\etc)
Disk 2: Quantum Atlas II SCSI = old drive [G:\] (Driver storage)
Disk 1: Quantum Atlas I SCSI = 7 years old [F:\] (Swap File = 384MB)
Maxtor ATA33 Primary master = 1 year old & hardly ever used
Toshiba DVD Primary slave
LG CDRW Secondary Master
 
I had no problems with this set up, although I did install the Maxtor Primary master only yesterday (I double checked all jumpers). I formatted this disk within Win2K's disk management program & had no probs doing so.
 
While surfing the Web I started hearing one of my drives continually spin up then spin down, & it wouldn't stop even if i closed all programs. I believe it was the Maxtor IDE disk because I could see the disk activity light was constantly on.
Then I saw the "System is Shutting Down" error before the system shut itself down. Upon rebooting, I lost the Maxtor & Toshiba in the BIOS scan. If I unplugged the Maxtor the Toshiba would show in BIOS scan. Eventuall after a few reboots they are both showing.

Anyone got any ideas? Is the SCSI disk with Swap File on it about to take a dirt nap, or maybe you think the power supply is overloaded?
