I am running windows XPSP1 on my P3 633MHz machine with 1152MB 133MHz SDRAM. My computer has a really strange problem about crashing for no reason at all. And randomly resetting intself in the middle of use. I have tried cleaning registry and scanning for viruses and found no infected files yet a lot of bad registry keys. I also keep noticing the error messages after in shuts down and they have said stuff like "could not open NvMCTray.dll" and I am not running an Nvidia card. I am needing help to figure out why it keeps restarting. Thanks here is a copy of my hijackthis.log.

Two essential programs that seem to be missing--antivirus program and firewall. What have you used to scan for a virus/trojan/worm?(http://housecall.trendmicro.com/) What programs do you use to scan for spyware?(Adaware/Spybot http://www.wilders.org/)

LEXBCES.EXE try disabling that in your start run type msconfig.exe make sure selective start up is ticked. Then go to start up tab and untick that one. Reboot and See if that helps any .... That software for printer has known issues to cause start up problems and hog resources. Good Place to start.... Also how is your memory array? How many chips what size and how is it placed in pc?

Mine use to do the same thing.This may be your problem and maybe not. shut your computer down and disconect your power cable.Then remove one at a time for 5 seconds all cards,ram and power cables.Static electricty can build up and cause this. Hope it helps
