I get this message that randomly appears every like ten minutes on my computer and it turns my computer off and back on it says something along the lines of There has been a problem detected in windows and it needs to shut down, dumping all pysical memory. The screen goes fast so i dont get to read the hole thing but does anyone know a good explination to why this is happening?
Check to see if you have the Sasser worm on your computer. One of it's functions is to reboot your computer ever 10 minutes or so. Symantec's site will have a free checker you can download
This Sasser worm isnt a usual thing is it? Your sayign its some sort of virus? Could it be soemthing wrong with my windows disc?
Install Service Pack 1 or 2, and an antivirus (check out norton internet security it has 60 day trail on their site)! This will remove the security hole that alows shuting out your pc. Good Luck
I recomend running lavasofts adware software, and then run e-wido software, and then an antivirus scan. If the problem persists repeat these steps in safe mode.
You know what.... that mite be the thing I might have forgot to install service pack 2. Thanks for reminding me ill go check that and ill install after work and see how we do.
use this when your comp goes in auto shutdown, Go to Run, and enter, shutdown -a This will stop the reboot. And disable rpc on you call and check
Use an premium antivirus first, and after use some registry repair tools, it should be just ok.I do not think it's something hardware.
The shut down is so quick I have no time to act or do anything. I have service pack 2 on here and I dont know. The wierd thing about it is I can leave my ocmpute ron over night and it wont do it butif im on it for an hour it will.
lol that is microsoft virus, mostly come for illegal copy of XP, just install firewall other then default xp firewall then it will not come, and anytime before installing firewall when 60 sec timer come in run type shutdown -a , it will kill timmer.
In case the error message sounds something like below: svchost.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x745f2780" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Then take a look at: http://swigartconsulting.blogs.com/tech_blender/2006/07/windows_update_.html#c23921593 It's an error in recent windows automatic update. Hope that helps. Bye
It could also be a bad memory module but it sounds more like a virus. switch out the RAM with another computer's RAM to do a quick check. If that doesn't work, follow the suggestions of the previous posts.
One more suggestion is that it can be a browser attached virus, you can use hijackthis to find and remove it, but proceed with caution as you can delete something you might not want to.
I dont think anyone here is out to bust me but I got the copy of xp from an old place I worked for. We reformated computers etc.
then it is come virus and remote call, just disable remote admin option and block those porta using firewall
