Help! My Computer Restarts At Logon Prompt!!!

[sirantonycartwright]

Hello everyone, when i have a serious problem you guys on forums ALWAYS know how to fix it, so heres my new problem:

I have recently installed 512MB of NANYA RAM today on my Jetway V266 motherboard, which is running XP SP2.

My computer worked the first and second times, then i restarted my computer and it wouldnt work, and it still doesnt...

Heres what happens:
I turn my computer on and i get through bios, and all that stuff, then sometimes it doesnt get to log-on prompt or sometimes i do get to the log-on prompt and get past it. My computer either restarts before the log-on prompt or just after ive logged on!!!

One time it mentioned dwwin in an error message before restarting, does this have anything to do with it? I cant remember what doctor watson does!
Does the ram have anything to do with it, or is it a coincidence?


Ive got into safe mode everytime but it restarts after a few seconds of being logged on...
My motherboard is compatible with the ram...
The ram is tested and working on other computers...

Is it a re-install windows job? - I only did this 2 weeks ago because of stupid spyware and crap like that!

So, please can you help?

dwwin.exe is a part of the Microsoft Doctor Watson error reporting tool, you said you just installed new ram, the first thing I would do is put the other ram back in and see if it boots up, you may have defective ram!

Ok what are the specs of your ram because if your motherboard is one of the one I have listed below it won’t support PC3200 DDR 400 Ram. The fastest ram it will support is PC2700 DDR 333 Ram. Make sure I have found the right motherboard and see if your ram you have bought is supported by your motherboard.
