PC automatically rebooting

[Dodge123]

Hi,

Recently had a problem with my XP build randomly rebooting.
I believe the problem could be due to some windows updates which were installed, but this is unconfirmed.

If anyone could take a look at the mini dump which was created and decipher it then I would be very grateful.

Cheers,
Dodge

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

All your minidumps crash at SYMEVENT.SYS. This is part of your Symantec/Norton security product. It is a known issue on some systems/configurations.

Try updating the software. If that doesn`t help, uninstall your Symantec/Norton product and try using a different security product.

Many thanks Howard. I will try rolling out an update to the affected machine.
