Well random restarts usually happen because of overheating. Make sure there is one or two open PCI slots under your video card so it doesn't trap heat. Also make sure all of your fans are running properly. AMD XP processors run hot, so make sure the heatsink is properly mounted and thermal paste is properly applied. Your CPU should be running between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius tops.

If you are positive it is not your colling I'd have to guess it was the power supply. 300 watts should be enough to run your system on, but that'd be my best guess.

I don't know anything about your errors. Maybe someone else does. I'd guess they would be caused by the restarts that were caused by the overheating.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply there, will look into the cooling' , but then why does it only restart when installing games or burning,..i've had the system working overtime and its fine,..what i did find out was that i downloaded a flash utility , and the it said on the flash screen chipset not supported and it's default was intel , and whenever i tried to change it to teh via chipset selection and recheck the chipset it's back to intel,. maybe this could be the problem,....this is doing bad things to my brain,...

[Ageless]

Can you elaborate on this flash utility? BIOS flasher?

I've been looking into this thread since yesterday, thought of heat or a bad PSU, but neither of those account for the DHCP errors you get, nor the system errors and service control manager errors.

But what I would like is the full description of those errors. You can get those by doubleclicking on any of the errors, then pressing the icon with the two leaves of paper, then pasting that in an answer window here. Can you do that for me, please?

[MrWooWoo]

yeah its a BIOS flasher , windows based, keeps saying chipset not supported and when i look at the chipset it says intel,.it's got me thinking its that the problem,.incompatability while transferring info from cd drive thru mother to c drive,..freaks out and restarts for protection,..

sure i'll try the error pasting,...any help os big time grateful.. :-

ok,..i hope you mean the numbers and codes in the bottom box as thats the only part that allows me to copy and paste...

No, I didn't mean the code at the end in the little box. If you look at the total error window, you see an up arrow button, a down arrow button and a button with the two leaflets on. Click on that one, then paste per error. If need be, try it in notepad first.

[MrWooWoo]

ok ,..description of errors ,..

service control
the dhcp client service depends on the NetBios over tcpip serviec which failed to start because of the following error:-
A device attached to the system is not functioning

Dhcp

Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the netwpork card with network address xxxxxxxxxxxxx the ip address being used is xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[MrWooWoo]

also which i may think is the problem , i have eSupport BIOS agent v 3.41

which says the OEM sign-on is 7ZXE-FA
My motherboard is a GA-ZXE-FB and the FA on the end relates to an intel chipset and the FB relates to the VIA chipset which i have on my system,...and also i have a BIOS flash utility from GIGABYTE which when i run it says chipset not supported , i tried changing it to the VIA chipset on the options and it and when i recheck it's back to the intel chipset, a write protect perhaps,..

[Ageless]

Ok, you have network problems. Is your computer part of a network, or are you using a network card to connect to the internet through ADSL/Cable?

That will account for the problems of DHCP and most of the Service Control errors. Which won't (usually) reboot your computer, although a spike can do that. But not when you install a game or burn to disc.

So, please check something else for me. Go Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Info, on the left pane go to Components->Problem Devices. Anything showing in the right pane? If so, what?
Then go to Hardware Resources->Conflicts/Sharing. What does it say in the right pane now?

If ever you want to reflash your BIOS (only do so if something else is broken and the BIOS info shows it is being repaired), use the correct BIOS flasher from Gigabyte and the correct BIOS file. Watch that you use the correct file for your PCB version!! Always reboot after flashing the BIOS, go into the BIOS, reload default settings, save them, reboot and then go into the BIOS to set it back up as you need it.
edit: The 7ZXE-FB stands for your BIOS revision. You have the latest.

[MrWooWoo]

actually i'm wrong i have the FA version of bios , I should have the FB version ...

[Ageless]

Well, the FB version of the BIOS only makes sure the XP220+, 2400+ and 2600+ are recognised correctly. Is your CPU recognised correctly at this moment, or is it seen as another CPU when you boot up?

If it is correctly recognised, the update is still a good one, as it will add the latest CPU microcode to your BIOS. If it's always been recognised as something lower than a 2200+, it's a good thing to do. And yes, it could account for the shut downs and reboots.

Remember what I said about reseting your BIOS to defaults after you flashed it.

[MrWooWoo]

i'm gonna try and flash my bios,...if my pc explodes and cant get back,...hanks for the help Jee

/me hides under sturdy rock for the fall-out. Will it be nuclear?
