Please help me. I've tested the RAM as suggested in the FAQ and nothing is revealed.

My computer reboots approx 1 time per day

This is an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe with Athlon XP 2400. 1M of RAM. 120G HDD.

The computer ran very well for about a year or two before the rebooting happened. New devices that have been installed is a USB bluetooth device and a Linksys CIT2000 (skype phone).

thank very much!

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Your minidumps are quite old, the latest being from 4/9/05.

Have you got any more recent minidumps?

Interestingly 2 of your old minidumps crash with a hardware error.

This could be any type of hardware, and can be difficult to diagnose.

What is the computer doing when it crashes?

Regards Howard

Howard, thanks for replying. Literally every time except once, the computer has shut down and rebooted while I was not in front of it.

I've checked the Device Manager and I don't see any "cautions" and the only devices with red "x" in them are 3Com fast ethernet and MAC bridge miniport, which I believe are 'x'd because I killed that feature purposely.

Here are more recent minidumps.

One of your minidumps crashes with a hardware error.

Another one crashes with memory corruption. Faulty ram.

Is your 1gig of ram in a single stick, or 2 512meg sticks?

If it`s in 2 sticks try removing one stick and testing your system, if your system then becomes stable, the ram you took out is bad. If this doesn`t work try running with the other stick of ram. Please note. Some faulty ram can pass Memtest.
