Solve : Computer Reboots on Start-Up? |
|
Answer» Ok I BUILT a new machine and get reboots on start-up. I checked the event viewer and have a yellow triangle warning for each time the reboot has occurred. No XP Professional Sorry, i posted the above before i read your last reply. Most events in Event Viewer have a link that you may select to access the knowledge base article at Microsoft's website. Have you tried clicking on the link? No there is no link and when I send the event to MS there is usually a page that pops up that says they are looking at it. Appears to be a device driver but I have not been able to determine which one. Updated the ATI drivers yesterday Update Bios Having troubles with chipset drivers so far, no being able to extract, another funky issue. Got blue screen 2x today earlier 0x000000D1 (0x400000dc,0x00000002,0x00000001,0xa62e5500) Quote ...Appears to be a device driver but I have not been able to determine which one... Good observation. WDM = Windows Driver Model. My best guess is ati2mtag.dll is the driver that is missing or corrupted or not compatible with Windows XP. I'll look up the 0x000000D1 stop error and get back to you. Maro: One of these three might do the trick: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2004-51%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=0x000000D1+SRB++xp+site%3Amicrosoft.com&btnG=SearchMore likely this one may help: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q317326 It was the only Windows XP related knowledge base article for the 0x000000D1 stop error in the three links of my previous reply. If you are able to boot to the desktop in Safe MODE With Networking, try downloading and installing Service Pack 2 for Windows XP using Windows Update. I really appreciate all your help and suggestions. I just built this machine and I did purchase Windows XP from New Egg with SP2 onboard. Since the driver issue seems to be ATI related I uninstalled all ATI from the machine. On the reboots between the removals the machine booted the first time and faster...if this machine could get faster...lol I then reinstalled the Catalyst 5.13 and did a reboot...so far all seems good. Did not get a reboot after all was loaded as I was getting previously. Next task is to update the chipset drivers, but I may wait a bit for that, this current issue has taken all day. I appreciate all the help and trouble you have gone through. Thanks for your time and I hope this is the last of this issueNo problem! Knowledge is worthless if i can't give it away. Take it easy, and God bless, Doc |
