Hi tednelson83,

A driver fault or hardware component failing is the most likely cause, but
details are needed to diagnose the problem. Go to the Control Panel/System
and open the advanced system properties from the left column. On the
advanced tab, click the startup and recovery settings. Set the failure to
create a minidump file (small memory dump), and uncheck the line to restart
automatically on system failure. Apply/ok your way out.

Next time it happens, jot down the text of the error screen before
restarting it. Mainly the error codes and types. Once restarted, open
Windows Explorer to C:\Windows\Minidump (this is a hidden system folder, so
set folder options accordingly) and send the most recently created file to
me via email. Use a subject line of 'per req' to get past filters (or I
won't see it at all) and send to rick_at_mvps_dot_org. I'll see if there's
anything in there to identify the culprit.

ok... so how do i find out witch one? all drivers were the latest pulled
off the internet at the time of the install, and have all been checked
for newer updates. all are up to date. hardware, i haven't had these
problems in the past, ant there are no indications that any thing is
failing,so how do you narrow it down. that was a awfully vague reply.
