Here is the situation.
My system will do a Hard Boot by itself for no apparent reason. It has happened while I was typing this!
I have scanned for viruses etc. I cleaned my case, removing dust (eliminating heat as the problem).
I even formatted my drive and reinstalled XP, but it is still doing it.
I'm thinking that I have a bad moboard, or HDD.
Please help if you can!!!!

System reboots by itself
(17 posts)
Damn. It just happened again :(
I found these entries in the Event viewer right before it reboots:
Generate Activation Context failed for C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_dec6ddd2\MFC80U.DLL. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.
and:
Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system
and:
Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.
These messages appear in the event viewer every time the system has rebooted.
After looking at your last post, and doing a search. This seems to be the solution.

Damn! I still have the same problem with the rebooting.
The error message previously stated is not showing up in event viewer though. Here is a new one...
Error code 10000050, parameter1 ba8a945d, parameter2 00000001, parameter3 8056908c, parameter4 00000000.
Which posted 4 seconds before reboot.
Any ideas on this?
I'm about to throw my puter through the window.....
In this tip, I will highlight common reasons that a system will reboot itself automatically.
Unfortunately, there are many things that can cause your PC to reboot automatically. I have listed the most common below:
Overheating
Weak Memory Module
Bad Motherboard
Bad Power Supply
Incompatible Software or Drivers
