Computer keeps rebooting itself

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: carab

Computer keeps rebooting. This just started yesterday(0511/04). Worked great until then. Blue screen of death appears first, then it reboots to the W2000 user login screen.
Ran NIS Full scan. Found 0 viruses. Downloaded and ran all Live Updates through today. Also downloaded and ran Norton sasser wormfix file. Did not find sasser. Looked for msblast.exe in processes. Wasn't there either.
Can I do something else to find out what's causing this?...

Thanks for all your help.

Right-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop and click Properties. Click the Advanced tab, then click the bottom-most Settings button. Uncheck the box next to "Automatically Restart" and click OK. The next time you get a Blue Screen of Death, the computer won't reboot and you'll be able to see what the BSoD says.

Once you see what it says, search for the text that was in all-caps LIKE THIS on Google. You will get an idea of what the text means and how to get rid of the BSoD in the future. If you need more help, post back.
