    Windows XP Professional and NIC

    Did you get the most recent driver for the NIC and was it listed as being for XP or 2000 on their web site. Did you do the upgrades on the Microsoft site as if it is a fairly common one it will be upgraded there. If not sure of this procedure I would buy a new NIC as their price is so low that...

    PC Reboots on its own

    One other thing I found after replacing my video card is from MicroSoft. They say that a ATI card with 64 megs of DDR mem if it has the wrong driver will do this.. They say use at least the 6.13.3276 driver from ATI's web site. This is the card I had. It is hard to determine weather it is...

    Boot automatically at random ???

    Some of the things to check as a basic check. Is power supply large enough to run equipment installed. When it boots is all fans running that are installed. Maybe one freezing up and causing a power drop and an end result rebooting. Is there a CD Disc in the drive at the time of reboot. If there...

    Major problems with Win ME

    I installed ME and had to fight getting new drivers and reloading programs also. One thing to look at is the modem installed at a odd address. Not com 1 or 2 but maybe 5. If so is it a PCI modem. If so try a ISA or external and not a Winmodem. A good data/fax V90 or so. Doesn't have to be...
