New to the forum, looking for some help !
I have just bought a 2nd hand PC with AMD64 3500+ CPU on Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe board running XP SP3 and it keeps crashing (about once every 4 or 5 hrs) the power does not appear to switch off.
The whole system reboots each time instantaneously. The PC does not crash any more frequently or faster if it has just crashed.
I gave the PC a good clean out + checked connections etc after I started to see the problem and there was an incredible amount of dust in the Graphics card cooling fan and the Motherboard chipset fan. The chipset fan was very noisy on boot up, but clearing the dust away has rectified this.
Still the PC crashes !
I'm only surfing the net and running Squeezebox, so the PC shouldn't be under any pressure.
I have loaded Probe 2 and I'm seeing...
CPU temp - 42 to 46C
MB temp - 42 to 45C
All voltages + fans seem to happy and running well. One chassis fan (from 2) is not connected.
on stopping auto reboot I get blue screen with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and the usual message, trouble shooting tips etc
Info from system log is (summarised)....

I have 10 x mindumps but have no idea about redaing or understanding them
Have tried the following : cleaning and reseating everything, deleteing and updating all drivers, memtest, defrag C drive, deleting page/swap file.
Thanks for any suggestions, alan
