    Unauthorized re-boot

    Hello group, while browsing this forum, my puter decided to re-boot all on it's own. What's up with that?

    that means your system had a "critical" error and your PC is set to automatically reboot when it comes by a critical error..

    If you want to find out what the error was about next time, then do this : right click on my computer > properties > Advanced tab > under startup & recovery, select "settings" and uncheck the box next to "automatically restart" .. next time an error occurs, it will show you the BSOD instead of just rebooting..

    but if you are still wondering what it was about, then you can check the Event viewer, a service on windows that logs every application, system errors etc..

    To reach this, go to your control panel> administrative tools > and open event viewer.. look under the "System" and it should show an error marked with a Red X , and that is most probably why your computer rebooted by itself..

    I hope that helps

    Make sure that you do the first part that Blackwar suggest & disable the auto restart on error so you can see for sure what the error is.

    Hope all goes well

    Ok, I got a blue screen. It says: check to see if adequate disk space. - I have 69.36GB left.

    Check bios updates. ??? new computer.

    Tech info: 0X0000008E (and some other #'s)

    Beginning dump of physical memory....................

    I have lost NAV subscription service and it also, when trying to get live update, states something regarding my "make sure disk is not full".

    I just got a message from NAV to re-install.

    In trying to update NAV today, I got the same message as you "make sure disk is not full". I was about to reformat to fix this, but I guess I'll wait a while if this problem is experienced by anyone else.

    I hope NAV fixes the problem soon 'cause I've got no protection. Well i'm not opening mail or sharing files at least.

    Here's a SS of my critical errors. Will someone advise me on what to do? There was no CD rom in. I did forget to take a CDrw disk out of the RW drive. I have Nero installed if that had anything to do with it. Thanks

    OMG lynchknot , what did you do to my bird is that blood...right through the Heart ?

    NAV running fine for me can't see your screen shot the link is down

    [edit] I see it now , go to control panel> performance&maintance>Administrative tools>Services...now find IMAPI CD Burning C... and disable it. That and Nero don't like each other.

    just wondering

    someone here said xp has cant see over 40gigs or somthing like that

    can you copy a 3 gig file to another directory and see if you get any hd errors?

    xp giving a blue screen error over diskspace is an urgent matter

    did you check for viruses?
    http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_pcc.asp

    it has to be a virus or a hd partition problem

    there really isnt much else it could be

    make sure you can still add large files to the hd
    and do the online virus scan

    how big are the hd's in question?

    I got another blue screen trying that antivirus check. I'll try it again now. I just installed this XP pro last week into one 80GB HD.
    No partitions. I'm using 5.2 gigs now.
