I recently installed a home network connecting a xp pro computer and a xp
home comp. Since the installation the xp pro randomly reboots. Any
suggestions on how to remedy this problem?
 
Checked your network settings?..... ran an antivirus scan?

Click to expand...

On the XP Pro computer 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 stop the random reboots. However they may be replaced by
Blue Screen Of Death "STOP" error messages. If that happens then the
contents of the STOP message will be a direct clue as to the
underlying cause of the problem.

Post the information from the STOP message, including all of the
parameters, back here if you need assistance with resolving that.

Good luck
