Computer Crash, after running 8 mins

[Guest Robert]

My computer keeps crashing after being on for 5 to 8 mins. I have plenty of

memory. I was told it could be my water cooler has packup, but my computer is

not hot. XP Windows home.

Hardware more than likely if there is nothing in the Windows Event Log.

Does it do this even in Safe Mode?

Does it do this if you just turn on the computer and go into/sit in the

BIOS?

Is your computer a Desktop or a Laptop?

 

If a computer suffers a System Failure (aka crash) a Stop Error ( aka

BSOD) Report is generated. You need to post a copy of that report.

 

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by

allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on

the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,

Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before

Automatically Restart.

 

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have

resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

Hope this helps.

Any you want, really...

Water cooling systems for home computers are not hard to come by.
