Windows XP Restarting on boot

by nzbn . Updated 20 years, 5 months ago

Hi,

I have quite a weird problem here, A PC started just restarting on boot after a windows update (im told) So I checked the disk with SeaTools and it came up with only file system errors – no hardware errors(A windows problem).
So I re-installed the OS, It went fine and I sent it back to its owner, after a couple of days it started doing the exact same thing – I have done a full comprehensive Dell Diagnostic on it with nil hardware errors, used memtest and ran seagate again – (only file system error) and am currently re-installing XP again, I will keep it in shop for a couple of weeks for observation under test conditions but other than that does anyone have an idea of what could be causing the problem?

Anyone had the same problem recently? – I am thinking, in its time away it re-downloaded the update which caused it to crash but if anyone knows otherwise I would love to hear from you.
