This problem is generally the result of a corrupted System Restore feature.

To fix the problem:

01. Control Panel / System.

02. Select the System Restore tab.

03. Check the Turn off System Restore box.

04. Press OK and press Yes to confirm.

05. Shutdown and restart Windows XP.

NOTE: You may still receive The system has recovered from a serious problem message.

06. Control Panel / System.

07. Select the System Restore tab.

08. Uncheck the Turn off System Restore box.

09. Press OK.

10. Shutdown and restart Windows XP.

If that does not work let us know. :sorcerer

I never knew System Restore could be corrupted...BTW, why doesn't System Restore restore text files and HTML files?

[FthrJACK]

if its still doing it, whats your system spec and whats the power supplys rating?

i expect msnwar wasnt lazy like me and actually looked the error code up. but if it still does it after the fix he posted id say its low power.

cause it only restores programs that have been installed.. and stuff.. leaves all files as is

[FthrJACK]

theres always the option of putting your slipstreamed XP cd in the drive and doing sfc /scannow in the run shell.

Well it seems to be keeping up I will wait a bit longer and let u know

u up-to-date on ur windows updates? Service Pack 1 applied?

Try this;Click start,Control Panel,Performance and Maintanance,and the System icon.In the System Properties dialog box pick the Advanced tab,and click the Settings button in the Startup And Recovery section.In the System Failure section of the tab,deselect the Automatically Restart checkbox,and click OK.Cick OK again to close the System Properties dialog box.The new settings take effect immediately.

By default XP automatically restarts when it encounters a system failure.This is only a problem if you would like to control when your computer restarts.

If this works I would follow FthrJack's suggestion with the scannow option.Make sure you type it exact and put a space between the SFC and the /scannow.

Did you get this resolved Rich? What error code did you get after turning off the automatic restart and started getting the blue screen? Is there a prog that you have open when this happens? Never did get computer specs from you...I know it's a hassle but it helps us to help you. I have had an incompatibility between my vid card and some other component of my computer for over a year now and I have just learned to accept it as a screw-up from building my own computer and not checking the compatibility list good. But things like that can be ruled out by a spec rundown.
