    Post XP reboots anytime

    A new P4 1.5 with XP home is rebooting itself either when starting up or when
    I go to access any program..

    It wants to tell MS and the message it sends is..

    BC Code: 50
    BCP1 B11280000
    BCP2 0
    BCP3 BFCA3412
    BCP4 1
    OSVER 5-1-2600
    SP: 0-0
    Product 768/1

    I'm not hopeful that anyone can help but I'm desperate..

    Try booting up in Safemode. (If its the same as the other Win9X, ME, you hit <F8> while booting up (several times until you see the menu) select safe mode.

    If it works then without any problems, run (start-run) MSCONFIG. Go to the startup tab, and uncheck everything (these are all the extra programs that XP runs, most of which you won't need all the time). See how it goes regular.

    If it doesn't reboot then, try adding a few programs at a time (most important ones first) if it still does, it might be a driver or hardware issue.

    If the system rebootx while in safemode, then I'd highly suggest a reinstall of the OS. Its not pretty, butI think you stated that you just got it, so not too much should be on it...

    Good luck!

    when Xp reboots, it when XP bluescreen or has a hardware conflect. Check all your hardware and make sure there not conflecting. May want to look at your modem and sound card.

    Try getting a new bois for you motherboard.
    Check your memory, it could be bad.

    I had a simuliar problem, except mine would re-boot after I was on-line for a while, I would get the dredded error box and how it wanted to send it to microsoft for eval. I found out that I had cheap SDRAM. I had to run the good stuff in my OEM Compaq. I have currently 512 Mg of Hyundi PC133 SDRAM and not a glitch. I even found that now that I have removed the cheap stuff the puter handles like a Cobra instead of an Edsel... How this helps out....

    try checking event manager, this will tell you whats haapening before it reboots and may shed some light on your problem, it may point to a service problem....
