Few days ago the my PC started to reset suddenly and without any blue screen
in XP Pro. I checked for any virus, backdoor or any other nasty warm but
everything is OK. It is happening sometimes after 10 hours or more and
sometimes just after 2 minutes. There is no defined time. The temperateres
are OK. I checked the memory with Gold Memory for 14 hours and it passed 3
normal cycles.

I am wondering how to find the problem. Maybe some driver? I did not
installed new software for a while.

Tx.
 
XP has been designed to not show the 'famous' BSOD but to do an automatic
reboot. You can change this back so you do see these errors messages.

1. Right click on the My Computer icon and choose Properties.
2. When you see the System Properties, click on "Advanced" tab"
3. In the Startup and Recovery portion, click on Settings.
4. By default, "Automatically Restart" is enabled. Uncheck it.
Next time your machine crashes, it will present the famous "Blue Screen Of
Death (BSOD) with all the technical jargon.
 
Thanks.
