Hi evryone i am having the most annoying problem on my computer.It jus simply reboots when ever it wants. and i dont even get the blue screen when it restarts i get nothing.. i aslo been getting this pop up thats saying

the instruction at "0x7c910c27" referenced memory at "ox0232e7bd The memory could not be read. I have no clue wat that is but im more comncern about my reboots please if theres anyone out there that can help my life easier.

In order to try to get an error message change this setting:

rt. click My Computer then click Properties then Advanced then Startup and Recovery Settings then unclick Automatically restart

The Memory could not be read is a fairly generic error. Did this just start happening? Does it happen all the time? Any new hardware and or software? Anything in common when it happens? Such as playing games etc.?

Also: look in your Event viewer: rt. click My Computer then click Manage then Event Viewer.
Or: Administrative Tools/Event Viewer or Start/Run/ eventvwr
Open the system as well as the application tabs & look for X errors. Click error line for details.
Post back the source & event id especially of errors that seem to coincide with a crash. Also check the Information lines that might coincide with this issue.

How to view and manage event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

[/QUOTE][/B im having problems with my computer as well and its smiply rebooting on it s own and its driving me crazy! it doesnt even give me the blue screen of death it jus reboots no errors nothing... it normally reboots like when ur on probably 12 hours or s oim not really sure yet how long but its really annyoning i have a pentuim 4 dell. and weve been having it for atleast 3 years now if anyone can help me it be a life savor! my guess is that my zone alarm program is shutting it off im not sure but again if anyone can help me out there please tell me how.. ill post all the programs i have on my computer....

[B] Thank you for getting back this started happening about 4 months ago ever since we bought zone alarm it use to work well without errors and reboots but for some reason it jus started.. I did not put any new hardware jus zone alrm.. The computer normally reboots when im on aol 9.0 and when im playin my game rise to nations. I aslo tryed clicking unclicking automatic restart in the start up and recovery but it still rebooted.. not sure why.. but as for my errors i will look that up as soon as possible and go through the event viewer but what else should i do for my reboots?

I would suggest removing Zone Alarm just to see if this is the issue. Do you have SP2 installed?

[B] Im not sure wat SP2 is, but i tryed shutting zone alrm and it still kept rebooting so i will get rid of zone alarm but wouldnt that mean my computer wouldnt that mean my computer would be at risk from viruses?

SP2 is the latest service pack for XP. It contains many security updates plus adds the XP firewall to XP Home edition.

I just mention the uninstalling of Zone Alarm as a test. Especially if you bought it you should be able to use it. Let's just see if it is causing this conflict.

You can view your version of XP by right clicking the My Computer icon then click on Properties.

You can get all Windows Updates via start All Programs | Windows Updates

Also are you running an anti-virus program?

yes i belive i have it but im gonna try and unistall zone alrm.. but so far my computer has now been rebooting like crazy and more now.

Now for some reason my computer is rebooting constiley and zone alrm cant be deleted for some reason.

Go to start/run & type in: msconfig

Go to the startup tab and uncheck any and all ZoneAlarm entries.

Also check Services via: start/run services.msc

Disable any and all ZoneAlarm (ZA) entries. You can disable by right clicking the entry and choosing properties.

ZA ... ZoneAlarm ... ZoneLabs ... vsmon.exe ... vsdatant.sys

Instructions for clearing ZA's current configuration:

- Step 1. Open the ZoneAlarm program, go to Configure panel, and make sure
the "Load At Startup" box is UNCHECKED.
- Step 2. Right-click on your taskbar, select "Toolbars," and make sure that
the ZoneAlarm deskband is UNCHECKED as well (if it is checked, click on it
to uncheck it).
- Step 3. Reboot. You should now have no ZoneAlarm processes running on your
system.
- Step 4. Open the Internet Logs directory (on Windows 95, 98, and ME this
will be "C:\Windows\Internet Logs", on Windows NT and 2000 it will be
C:\WINNT\Internet Logs), where you will find a file called "iamdb.rdb" and a
file named after your computer with the ".ldb" extension. Delete both of
these files.
- Step 5. Make sure you have emptied your Recycle Bin, then reboot your
system.
- Step 6. You will need to start ZoneAlarm manually. (Click "Start,"
"Programs," "Zone Labs," "ZoneAlarm"). ZoneAlarm will start up again with a
fresh database. Each program should ask for access again if the files were
properly deleted.
- Step 7. Be sure to RECHECK anything you unchecked earlier.
