I upgraded from Me to XP and my computer restarts itself for no apparent
reason. I have various devices connected through my USB 1.0 ports and have
been told that XP does not support USB 1.0. Is that true? Could this be
causing the restarts?
It is not true.
To check out the reasons for your restarts open Control Panel - System
- Advanced and click on the Settings button in the Startup and
Recovery (bottom) section. In the Startup and Recovery window click
on the checkbox for "automatically restart" to clear it then click on
Apply and OK as needed to exit.
That should put an end to the spontaneous reboots. However they may
be replaced by a "Blue Screen Of Death" STOP error message. If that
happens then the contents of the error message, including the STOP
code, all 4 of the parameters relating to it, and any file or module
names mentioned will be a direct clue as to the underlying cause of
the problem. Post that information back here if you need assistance
with it.
Good luck
