Hi folks,

My IBM server 200x series (SCSI drive), 512RAM 40GIG Hardrive Win XP has been spontaneously rebooting.

Originally I thought this was due to a drive conflict having recently installed an internal DVD writer. However I have removed the writer and in fact all drives except the hard drive and it still spontaneous reboots. Sometimes it is a week before it does it, sometimes 10 minutes between reboots. Maybe there is still something wrong in the BIOS settings? But I would need real dumbed down instructions about how to check for that, please.

When I turned off the auto-reboot function in advanced settings, it now gives me a blue screen that provides useful info I hope: It is listed as a "Kernel Data Inpage Error."

Any ideas about the source of this problem and what to do about it? Thanks in advance!
