Hey guys. I am running a AMD 2100 Athlon XP, Radeon 9700 Pro, 512 meg DDR, SoundBlaster Audigy with 16' GEM Flatscreen monitor, 5.1 surround sound speakers, Win XP, lol, sorry if I gave any unnecessary details, but I have a problem. My machine just expectedly crashes, ALOT. When I am transferring files on my personal network, it crashes just about every time within 60 seconds, when I try to run any programs it likes to crash on startup. The programs dont crash, I am talking about a total restart with no warning at all. This just happened, before it never used to that, when I first setup the machine it worked perfectly. And now this. Just started happening about 2 days ago, so I wiped my drive and reinstalled WinXP with the same problem. Any help?

Try enabling the blue screen, so you can actually know what is causing your problem... Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced->StartUp and Recovery->Settings->. Then under "System Failure" uncheck "Automatically restart".

Checked the box, and about 5 minutes later I got a same crash. Weird...it doesnt give me a blue screen, but rather just turns the machine off then back on. I dont understand...

boot up vga mode and change your video settings to 800x600. see if it restarts on you then. if not, you have your resolution too high.
