I have been experiencing seemingly random restarts (it gives me a blue screen which almost always has a different error message on it). Since i'm on XP the blue screen is not the regular one from Win98, but its just as useless. It then restarts, and sometimes gives me another blue screen before I can log on. Then I restart again and can continue using the machine until it randomly restarts again.
Here is the problem: It even did it when i was installing WInXP after I reformatted both hard drives.
I eventually got XP installed without any blue screens occuring during the installation, but I suspect it has happened again while i was away from my computer. I woke my computer up and logged in and it gave me a message saying a serious error had occured, which it sometimes gave me after It restarted before. What could be causing this, even after a reformat? Also, i have not added any new hardware, just software. And a reformatt should eliminate any problem software.
The computer worked fine for 2 monthes before this happened, with no new hardware installed since I got it.
