Computer restarting

[onetinsoldier222]

this is the week ending 06-03-24..... My Winmx is causing me  loads of problems  at the moment  . I have the latest patch and am using version 3.54 w/patch. Have AMD/3.4k system w/1048ram, 20MB LAN connection using Windows 2000Pro. I have been able to make a load of downloads  and made NEW FRIENDS  in deceit Chat rooms ....I've been parking in the chat rooms and dowwnloading some great files with the above but over the past week I leave loads of stuff downloading & Uploading ... when I return the next morning or even during the day WinMX has turned itself off  :shock: my system then has "rebooted", restarted; then when MX is started all files reset in red with OpenNap files eliminated   [can be reloaded but are all dead link, i have to research  them] ... i've reloaded WinMX but not erased entirely the WinMX from the system.  i've reloaded the patch 1.9 download a new 3.54 and same occurance the next day... Origianlly it was just once a day, now twice ... MY next step now in progress remove ALL WinMX and start anew, and seeking any ideas?  0140 hrs Zulu TIME 06-03-25  email or respond here.... i'll be baacckk ==      "Tin"

Are you sure it's a winmx related problem?
This could just as well be another error in your system, maybe even hardware related. Windows restarts the system on fatal errors and modern mainboards do the same to protect the computer from overheating for instance. Maybe you should try installing a monitoring program for your hardware sensors (look at the cd that came with your mobo).
Often simply opening the computer and cleaning out all the dustbunnies works wonders

Mostly,on such occasions, some error nessage is given to th user upon the next reboot.

Try this:

Right click My computer>Properties>Advanced>Steeings(Under Start up and recovery)>

Look in the section of system failure. Uncheck the 'Automaticially restart' box and see if this solves the problem. If it doesn't solve the problem, then rechech this box.

I am not sure what happens , if you always keep it unchecked. I had such a problem. Every now and then, a message would pop up:'RPC has shut down windows needs to retart.'
Turned out it was a virus. Run a virus scan and make sure there are no spyware on your comp
