    system restarting

    Hi...It is a P3 850Mhz system with WinXP installed on it.
    Sometimes the system suddenly gets hanged up and then restarts itself.
    After restarting it gives an error msg stating ' The Display Drivers failed to
    complete the drawing operation,Pls contact your manufacturer for driver
    update'.
    I have tried by re installing the drivers and also updating them..but in
    vain..I am really confused .
    Pls Help.

    what program are you using when this happens? Word?

    how have you tried updating drivers? have you checked windows update?

    what is the make & model of your graphics card?

    also change this setting to get more detailed error mesages:

    You can turn off the feature that instructs XP to autostart on system
    failure. Right click on My Computer and select Properties->Advanced
    Tab->Startup & Recovery section->Settings button->uncheck "Automatically
    restart" Apply. This will give you a blue screen with info on it and you
    will have to manually restart the computer. The info might give you an idea
    whether or not the problem is hardware or software related.
