Sudden rebooting becoming a real pain!

Hi
I've been using this board quite happily for a couple of months or so and I like it but just recently, I've been getting sudden reboots for no apparent reason which, once back on the desktop, I'm informed that Windows has recovered from a serious error.  I must admit that this is becoming a real pain now and I don't know what's causing it.
A few minutes ago, I just pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up Task Manager and the computer just restarted for no reason.  Every so often, it seems like I just have to hit one key and it reboots  
I have read threads in this forum about users who had had similar problems and as far as I am aware, my PSU is up to the job - see system spec and my CPU temp, using stock heatsink with thermal pad is around 44Cat idle.  I also have two fans inside the Enermax PSU and another 'exhuast' fan at the back of the case.  The DDR voltage is set to 2.70v and the AGP voltage is set to 1.65v.  The content of the log file that was created is as follows:
Microsoft Windows
The system has recovered from a serious error

HELP!

Hi and thanks to all who responded to my post.
Ok, to Danny, I downloaded "Memtest86" and after extraction, I now have an ISO file.  When I burn the ISO to CD,  does it create a 'bootable' CD with which I boot the computer with it or do I need to actualy create a bootable CD first?  Also, what tests need to be run?  See last few paragraphs.
MarkA:  I looked at the link you provided and I am already running XP Home with SP1 and ALL updates that are available at this time.  I have saved the link so i can look at it later regarding the "pagefile".  See last few paragraphs.
Gio1:  My DDR Ram is in slots 1 & 3 and I may try moving the sticks to 2 & 4.  See last few paragraphs.
SoCalMX:  My AGP voltage has been at 1.65v since I build the system and I have never had any problems with rebooting until recently (but see my last few paragrahs below), but I will give it a try at 1.60v.   BTW, I don't play games on the computer.
To all of you:  I forgot to mention that I have been using the board for a couple of months or so and I was very happy with it but around a week ago, I enabled the Promise controller and moved my ATA133 drives from IDE1 to IDE3 and then updated the WinXP Promise S-ATA(378(tm) drivers from v1.00.16 to v1.00.29 and that's when I got my very first error message since I've been using the board, and the message was something like "IRQ less than or not equal to etc, etc, etc".
BTW, the drivers have been rolled back to v1.00.16.
I posted my problems in this forum and after trying a few suggestions from user's, I moved my drivers back to IDE1.  I now don't get the IRQ message - at least not since I moved them back but I am getting the error as shown in my first post in this thread.
So, just to clarify, I had absolutely no problems with this board until I moved my ATA133 drives to IDE3 and updated the drivers and that's when the problems started.  I have updated my PSU to the one shown in my system 'specs' below.
BTW, the drivers have been rolled back to v1.00.16 but I'm just wondering if the previously updated drivers are still causing problems and I'm thinking of formatting and re-installing XP to see if that will solve the issue?
Regards

  • I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

    I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

    Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

    I'd think you have a Keychain problem (Keychain storing passwords and the likes).
    When you are being asked, are you offered the checkbox, "Remember this password in my Keychain"? If so, check and see if it stops asking.

    see -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
    which explains how to completely exit (quit) your Mozilla application
    Try closing Firefox completely
    *Close Firefox properly '''File > Exit''', not with the "X" which just closes the window.
    *Use the Windows Task Manager "Processes" tab to make sure that firefox.exe is not running and also that the plugin-container.exe is not running.
    If that does not work, try restarting the system.
    If still no luck try restoring bookmarks from last backup, or better create your own .json backup and restore from that.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox#Creating_bookmark_backups
    *''If you had to go this far, please provide feedback if restoring bookmarks alone fixed the problem. I think I may have done that once with success, but never see that suggested -- I'd try most anything to not lose history or bookmarks. But then I could restore files from my profile and restore latest bookmarks backup from current profile.''
    The following will result in complete loss of history if it comes down to deleting places.sqlite, so rename files rather than deleting. With Firefox down.
    Of course you have backups of your profile you could replace rename and
    replace those files instead.

  • Sudden Reboot in 10.6

    Ok there people,
    I have had the strangest thing happen after I "upgraded" to 10.6. It has happened a couple of times now and I was wondering if anybody has had the same issue I have.
    I start up Quicktime 10 I start to play a movie it runs for maybe 2 to 10 seconds then I press cmd -f for full screen and Boom instant reboot. Screen turns black and well you no how a reboot goes.
    I can't seem to find a common ground for this issue other than the fact that I'm trying to get a movie to play full screen. It won't happen for like 30 times but than out of the blue.
    I say mystery dear Watson, what do you guys think.

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one having the same exact problem, I thought my Mac mini had an hardware problem.
    I've had two of these "sudden reboot" since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I never had them before. In my case it happened after a mouse click: the screen froze for 2 seconds, then I got a blue screen and a "reboot".
    These reboots seem quicker than normal reboots.
    Looking at the console, it seems that the reboot occurred because the WindowServer crashed.
    9/25/09 2:51:05 AM iTunes[28762] HIToolbox: received notification of WindowServer event port death.
    9/25/09 2:51:05 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.WindowServer[90]) Job appears to have crashed: Segmentation fault
    I did some research about the message "WindowServer event port death" and found that it was linked to sudden reboots that also happened for some users in Leopard (10.5).
    Another thing I found is that other users have been experiencing "sudden log-outs" when the WindowServer process crashed. Since I have auto-login on my Mac, I suspect that what we've been experiencing are not "sudden reboots", but rather "sudden log-outs" where the OS suddenly logs out and then automatically logs-in.
    I'm running 10.6.1... I hope this is going to be fixed with 10.6.2 because it's extremely annoying.

  • 5800 XM Suddenly Reboots

    Hello !
    i've got grey (not blue or red) 5800 bought in april 2009.
    Curently it has firmware 21.0.025 (when i've got this phone it has ver.20) updated through Nokia Software Update.
    So there is one annoying problem. About one time a day, or may be in 2 days phone suddenly reboots when some action
    occurs.
    For example:
    - when i recieve SMS, not just recieve - when i'm pressing button "Show" (or whatever it named)
    - when i'm using GPS software and go to player (remember that 1 time)
    - or like today even when i was reading a book and screen was auto rotated when im turn the phone
    - or some other action i cannot remember
    Anyway. This stuff never occurs when phone is just lying on a table, even if it playing some music and doing some
    other stuff at the same time. It happens when you click something or switch to other app or recieve a call or sms. You need to do some action. And you cannot just try to force this stuff to happen. It will open 10 sms and on 11th it will reboot. It happens by itselfs suddenly (as i say not very often, but 1 time in about 1-2 days).
    In 8 times of 10 it will just reboots and will not asking pincode - just nokia wellcome screen and then it goes to desktop. But sometimes it will ask pin.
    It was happenning since i've bought the phone. At that time there was not any additional soft installed.
    I thought it was bug in firmare but when i've updated to ver.21 thus bug doesn't go away.
    so.... does any body knows what is this and what i need to do ???
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here´s what I recommend you to do:
    Backup all your contacts to an online service such as Nokia Ovi.
    Update your phone´s FW with NSU
    Hard reset your phone by pressing "Green", "Red" and "Camera" button at once during power up of the phone, you´ll perform a hard reset of the phone which will erase all the data.
    After that everything should be working fine, if it doesn´t get back to us.

    By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 2012 sudden reboots

    I have a little problem with my MacBook now (Retina Mid 2012 15"). It sometimes, completely randomly, reboots, that is it stops responding, while looping the audio of about last second and then reboots. It runs on the latest version of OS X Yosemite.
    The weird thing is it does not display anything like "Your computer had to restart because of a problem" and the logs do not contain a single clue of what could have caused this problem. It also does not contain any panic logs or anything. Previously it would only happen once a week, now it happen two days in a row. I tried resetting the SMC and the PRAM, but it still continues crashing.

    Hello....
    a couple hours ago Ive read an article, which was written,that the Macbook Pro Retina from mid 2012 till end of 2014 have a hardware problem concerning ur behavior of ur macbook. Sudden reboots,stop to responding,  unable to play videos correctly and symptoms of seeing of blurry pics. Resolution of these problems require to contact apple at the applestore and make an arrangement with them to repair that hardware problem. Of course as a gesture of good will from apple. Im using a macbook pro retina mid 2012 have not these symptoms but at my next stop near an applestore i gonna check the macbook just in case.
    Think that is exactly what happened to u and apple gonna fix this.

  • My system suddenly reboots, have tried all kinds of stuff.

    I have just bought a new system.  This is the first time I have built one from scratch.  I Got it all together and windows installed.  But it will just suddenly reboot for now reason.  I went into system properties and sent the system to not reboot when a problem accors.  but know I get a blue screen when ever a problem comes up it tells we what to do.  Can't really do it.  My system is bare.  I thought it was the psu.  So I went and got another one(430W).  Still same thing.  I have reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled windows. same thing.  I took the MB out to make sure that I didn't leave any stand off's not screwed in.  Nothing.  I dont know what else it could be.  I was thinking about the memory.  I'm gonna get some new memory and replace what I have in there now and see if that works.

    What is the system ideal temp and what is the temp and full load... Are u sure u have mounted the cooler correctly and used some thermal paste or pad....

  • MBA 11' - Sudden reboot / Crash

    Good day
    It is a few months now that my MBA 11' every now and then crashes or rather i should say suddenly reboots, as the screen goes blue and the system reboots as if nothing had happened (no data recovered, no software running etc).
    No specific software seems to be blamed, as this has happened when i was just browsing the internet (with no whatsoever multitasking) or playing a videogame or just using itunes.
    Any ideas about the possible reason for that ?
    Thanks in advance !

    I keep getting a message that Firefox is open and not responding. That I have to close the Firefox application or restart my computer. A real pain. Why is the firefox application not closing.

    Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
    NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

  • E52 is suddenly rebooted.

    I have a problem with my E52.
    My E52 is suddenly rebooted.
    It happens in the following cases.
    (1)Arriving a call while charging (often)
    (2)Talking while charging (often)
    (3)Handing over in packet transmission (sometimes)
    Is this an initial malfunction or software bug?

    A cell phone today has to be considered (anyway) a sort of "personal assistant", I don't mind price for that and I am not a rich. Such as I don't mind price for my computer (within reasonable).
    I am a professional and I am hardly a Macintosh user (a good user not a fanatic one), my dream is something like a Tungsten PalmOS with a Nokia phone inside (everybody must do his job).
    I don't know HTC but I guess it comes with Windows Mobile...
    I wouldn't change to a BB or iPhone (a gadget more than the phone i need)... probably I am going to be patient  for a while, to use my E51, waiting and hoping Nokia will release a new model, small and solid amonf the E5x family.
