I am running XP Pro on my computer (2Gig Processor, 512k of ram) and my system will shutdown unexpectedly resulting in a system reboot or the dreaded blue screen with the error "minidump" (Not sure of the exact wording)
It happens alot but at no specific time (ie; when certain programs are running). I had this problem when I first got the system and ended up reformatting and re-installing XP. Everything worked fine for a while then the same thing happens...more and more frequently. I am of the opinion it is either a hardware or software problem(pretty funny eh)?
Could it be the system overheating or some other hardware problem or a software problem. The reason I suggest software is because the system works great until I start installing software but unfortunately I can't track or pinpoint which program it might be!
Anyone with any suggestions? Thanks!
