Periodic re-boots
I have a problem that is driving me nuts.
Every so often the PC decides to re-boot. There is no BSOD to give a clue as to what causes it. The only clue I have is that I have never seen it happen. I would leave the PC for a time, maybe for a meal etc., and on returning would find that that the PC was awaiting a log-in.
I have a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX video card and have seen that some people have had issues with this card. I have tried the latest drivers (341.81) with no improvement, indeed the problem seemed worse so I have downgraded to 341.74 I have checked the system log file for warnings and/or errors but they give very little clue other than to tell me the system re-booted and that it may be due to a power failure.
When the system re-starts the ROM-BIOS is much slower in recognising my RAID configuration. This may or may not be significant as that is also Nvidia.
This afternoon I was at the PC when it did it again. There was a 3 tone notification sound followed by a black screen and a re-boot.
Any ideas?
Here's the WinDbg from the MEMORY.DMP.
