hello,

i'm running w2k sp4

i've been using this pc for 3 years without problem until last month.

i use my pc at an average of 2 - 3 hours a day.

1) it always reboots once or twice without notice, just like i press reset button.

2) my SPYBOT-SEARCH&DESTROY-TEA-TIMER always detect change of my anti-virus program EXE file, i always select "deny change".

i've already done 3-times re-format & reinstall this month but still have same problem.

Just now, i've checked event viewer - system log:

anybody have an idea what is this.

any help would be great.

Description:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bug check was:

0x0000000a (0xff9ce7cc, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x8044842f).

Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was saved in:

C:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini052805-01.dmp.

Try checking your RAM. Try running memtest86 and Prime95 for a night each and see if any errors are produced. If you've reinstalled and the problem is still there then it might suggest a hardware issue and not a software problem. Another suspect might be the power supply, esp if it is a cheap no name(i.e. not branded) PSU.

This is because you got Automatically restart in Control Panel - System - Advanced - Run and recovery (something like this).

Please attach your dmp file for analysis, I will post to you what is your problem.

thanks rikgale

what is this memtest86 and prime95.

where to get them?

Use Windows Memory Diagnostic from Online Crash Analysis centre - http://oca.microsoft.com/en/mtinst.exe

plug memtest86 and prime95 into google and that should see you straight

I've done a clean install again.

This time, i've disabled bios virus-guard before set-up.

I think that was the cause of windows malfunction.

Now seems fine but i'm still monitoring.

if same problem happens again , i'll folllow your advice.

Thank you all guys
