Will appreciate feedback on why my system auto reboots whenever I delete and rotate a few photos in my cd-rw or dvd-rw. I have 760 ram with p4 and xp pro OS. regards

the auto reboot is a feature of XP to get you back on track quicker although I find it a pain in the butt as you can't see what the problem is quickly, you have to go digging for it. you can turn the auto restart off by going into control panel > system > advanced > 'startup and recovery' > settings > untick automatically restart. you then should see a blue screen when you get the problem again with a message on it. to find out now you can right click my computer > manage > event viewer > system and look for the errors (red) if you double click on an error you should see a hyperlink which when clicked usually gives you something useful. it's likely to be a driver so make sure they're all bang up to date :)

When Windows crashes with blue screen, it writes a system event 1001 and a minidump to the folder \windows\minidump. Check system event 1001 and it has the content of the blue screen Event ID: 1001 Source: Save Dump Description: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.The bugcheck was : 0xc000000a (0xe1270188, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804032100). Microsoft Windows..... A dump was saved in: ....... Control Panel -> Adminstrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> System -> Event 1001. Copy the content and paste it back here
