    XP Reboots

    Ok Im trying to figure out why a system of mine keeps rebooting.. Every 3 mins or 30 mins or an hour

    Evenet viewer has nothing in there.

    Software loaded is mainly Norton Utilities 2002.. which I think might be it, I have not uninstalled it to check to see if thats the problem.

    Specs

    Soyo kt333
    AMD XP 1600+
    pc1600 256 mb
    geforce3 ti-500


    Just wonder if anyone has any ideas b4 I play around

    Memory maybe?

    NooNoo, me needs help

    ok, Norton utilities has been removed, and the user says he hasnt gotten a reboot yet.. Norton must have been the cause.


    humm another reason why I dont like using Norotn.. oh-well it was free with the mobo..


    Didnt norton have this problem before in win98
