Hello
My computer with Windows 2000 restarts unexpectedly sometimes with losing
operating data. How to know what causes the restarts?

If there is nothing in the event logs, it is likely overheating or
faulty RAM.

Thanks for your reply.
The three logs contain warnings, errors and notifications, but non of them
indicate a restart.

There are three logs: system, security and applications. Which one should I
study?

I believe you really should hire a computer professional to help you
with this system and network.

A flakey power supply is a possible cause.

You probably loosened some internal cable connection during one of your
many dives into the PC over the last month or two. Make sure every
connector is tight. Make sure every cable is good. This applies to ALL
wires.

When power is suddenly removed from certain parts of a typical PC, there
is no trace. A dead computer cannot write its own obituary. Common sense
applies.

fan.

Blow dust from power supply.

Check and reseat all hardware.

Check and reseat hard drive connections

If it still happens find and run memtest86.exe to test your
ram if this is OK try a replacement power supply (if you
have a spare power supply available try it first)

good luck

memtest86.exe run for an hour, I could not wait for it to finish any more
and I restarted system by ctrl+alt+del. How long does it run?

if there was a memory error it would have shown up in the
logs, in most cases this is almost immediate
If nothing in your logs and it ran without error for that
long I suggest there is nothing wrong with the memory

Where should the log be? A screen blinked with about 7 symbols in every row
when memtest86 ran.

been a while since I used it

you made the memtest floppy and booted from
I recall you could st the configuration to test the memory
individually or together
the programme runs read write test to each location on the
memory
I thought there was an option to write the info to a log
file maybe there wasn't

Yes, I made the memtest floppy and booted from it.
What is st?
After beginning to boot from the floppy the screen began to blink with about
7 symbols in every row. There were not any options.
