PC keeps rebooting itself

[dchristey]

Hi all ,

My machine suddenly decides randomly to reboot itself, this usually happens during gaming so I suspected a faulty Graphics Card.

However it has now decided to happen when I am just generally using my PC, I have been looking through the Event Log and the attached screenshot is all I can find. Does anyone know this error and if it is related.

Any assistance would be great seeing as its is very annoying.

Microsoft has this about 0x024 stop errors: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro....mspx?mfr=true

Thanks for that Alaron, however this seems to relate to Windows 2000 - I have updated all my drivers, scanned my hard drive for errors and fingers crossed it hasnt rebooted yet. However I am not 100% confident.

Any other suggestions would be great.

Control panel, system, advanced, startup and recovery - uncheck restart on error. Next time it will bluescreen instead of rebooting and you will have more clues.

Nice tip glc - thanks.

Do you suggest keeping the Memory dump the same?

It is currently "Small memory dump 64kb"

[glc]

Doesn't matter.

Hi glc - I have done as suggested.

I get the following on the blue screen.

BAD_POOL_HEADER

***STOP: 0x00000019

Any advice?

Update drivers, and see if you have a camera or scanner or any bluetooth device plugged in.

[dchristey]

No scanner/camera's e.t.c

I will try and disable the Indexing Service as well - just as a note.

Thanks for the links.

Hope it helps a bit.

Keep us posted.

Right now I get another stop error.

0x000000c5

This is almost certainly a driver issue according to Microsoft - I have the run the Driver Verifier and there seems to be a bad driver, I will update all of my drivers and see if this helps.

Any other suggestions would be great.

If you have a logitech mouse, I would uninstall their driver first. Seems like they could be the culprit.

Thanks shadowpr.

I have a Logitech Wireless Keyboard/Mouse - I have uninstalled the Logitech drivers for this and expect to see a difference, thanks for your help on this - I will let you know how it goes. Thanks.
