Is it possible that Windows is blue screening? I knwo that with many LCDs, they don't switch graphics modes to show a blue screen before XP has moved on with the restart.

Right click on My Computer - Properties. Then go to the Advanced tab, Settings under Startup and Recovery, and uncheck Automaticially Restart.

If it is a blue screen, something on that might show some useful info on tracking it down.


Could be, although I have seen the BSOD before! I'm also now getting SVCHOST errors. I'm really ready to call it quits with this. I'm going to back up and either re-install Windows or just make the whole thing a Linux box. I'll just deal with using the laptop as my only XP machine.

Thing is I don't know how to resize the Linux partiton to take over the whole drive without reformatting the whole drive. Ugh, what a mess. Agh and my printer is only fully supported under XP, its an all in one Canon MP730.
