Rebooting?

Well first of all, I have no idea where to put this, because I don't know where the problem is.

Whenever I boot up my computer into XP, it will reboot within 1 and 6 minutes of running time. It only happens in XP, not in safe mode, and not anywhere else.

My first thought was power supply, because until my new one comes (today) I am using a 200W, 13A PSU. So I hooked up a voltmeter, and the 12V, 5V, and 3.3V lines are all perfectly solid, generally .03V above their rating.

I have not yet scanned for virii, but I will in a minute. However, I just reinstalled Windows, and all I was doing was installing software. I was not on the internet doing anything dangerous without a firewall.

All this hardware ran fine together for about 2 days until sometime with the new XP, I think it was after I installed Agnitum firewall.

*edit* my CPU temps are in the low 20s

That is what I am running right now, I just haven't gotten the case and power supply yet.
 
Avast thoroughly scanned my whole system, no virii.

And UPS is really being a PITA.....now my case won't come until tomorrow. Hmmm...order 3 day shipping, get 6 day shipping.....grrrrr

Yes, but they dont deliver on the weekends if ordered through newegg, so you cant count the weekend as days.

So if you ordered something on newegg on Thursday, they will ship it out on Thursday or Friday, then you should get it on Tuesday or Wednesday the following week.

Newegg also says that it takes them 1-2 days to ship out an order, so you cant count that against UPS either.

I ordered it on Wednesday, and it shipped wednesday evening. I got everything except the case on Friday afternoon.

Anyway, back on topic, it still isn't working, and I am in safe mode right now.
 
OK I have a question. If this was a power supply problem (which I doubt) how would I know? And if it isn't power supply or virus, what else could it be?
 
is it due to the lsass.exe ??
when i freshly installed xp ... it would reboot saying some prob with lsass.exe
then i installed sp2 package n now its working fine enuf
 
No, there is no error message.

I am running on SP1, and I would have installed SP2, except that the computer isn't on long enough.
 
hmm ... wat abt safe mode ?? try installing sp2 in safe mode ... i think sp2 installation should sort out ur problem

and yes ... if u r connected to network ... disconnect n then install the sp2 package

What does the network have to do with it? Yes, I am connected to a wireless network, and in safe mode right now, installing SP2.

*edit* actually the SP2 installation just finished, so I will try it now.
 
acc to my experience ... network sometimes causes probs with the installation .. i mean i stops midways .. etc .. i dunno hw it happs exactly .. but still when i remove the system 4m network .. it then goes on smooth ... thts y ...
good tht u done with sp2 ... lets hope it works ... let me knw
 
OK I am up and running now with SP2 in regular mode, and nothing has happened yet....but everything works fine.
