p4 auto shutdown ? 1

[NEVERSLEEP]

hi
i was just wodering if any one ever been "auto shutdown" ?
this has happened to me twice
losing data.. (win2k create a FOUND.00x folder..)

- is anybody know if there is a auto-shutdown on cpu overheat?
- if so is there a "datafile" or something telling me what is going on?
- can it be the VideoCard fault ? (has a fan)
- on win2k is there a "datafile" for shutdown events ?
like something like this :
date : action
02/01/01 : clicked shutdown button
02/01/02 : pulled the switch
etc...

thanks a lot

my pc spec:
os : win2kpro 5.00.2195 service pack 2
mem : 524 MB pc133
MB : s423 p4 ecs p4vxms (most basic nothing integrated)

Look in event viewer in administrative tools and see what error was generated.

Turn off automatic rebooting -- right-click on My Computer, select properties, click Advanced tab, under Startup & Recovery click Settings, and un-check Automatically restart.

This was one of M$'s ways to eliminate the blue screen of death -- no, your PC just reboots! You'll still probably lock up but you can read the error message and work from there.

Hey Neversleep,

1- Check your video card software (smartdoctor)
2- Click on setup
3- Make sure that the box that says shutdown when overheat (2nd check box) is not checked

It shutsdown when the fan rpm's too much
Also you have too small of a box for a P4 (my opinion)

4- The first one is ok the leave on (disappear but memory-resident)

Let me know or tell me friday night when i pass by your house!
