I have a friend who recently atarted running a 3.06Ghz
Processor (pentium) on a new motherboard with 1gb of
memory. (processor MoBo and memory are new). He has
experinced spontaneous reboots at random tims ever sicne
then. The HD was formatted prior to the system set up and
he installed win xp hom edition, then the updates.. then
the drivers for his various components. All drivers and
directX are at there most recent versions and XP is
compltely updated.
Has anyone experienced a problem like this and found a
fix for it? Windows will sometimes provide an error log
and it says the winxp has failed to start a certain
device sicne the device was not working properly. It wont
tell what device this is though.
Here is the second curious thing: Under the device
manager it lists his processor twice. Is this normal for
a single processor. I dont think so. I plan to go into
safe mode at his PC and remove the ectra processor that
is listed.
ANY advice on any of the issues or my plan of action
would be greatly appreciated.
