Hi,

Attached is C:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini020908-01.dmp

I have also run the CHKDSK.

Thanks!

Well . . Drat. For some reason, I no longer have dumpchk.exe on my computer, so I can't open that. Maybe one of the other members has it handy?

Anyhoo, how did the chkdsk go?
I have a feeling this might be more a driver or hardware issue than a hard drive problem.

If you are able to stop the machine from rebooting, you might be able to get more info on the exact nature of the problem.

If you RightClick My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Startup & Recovery and look under "System Failure" and Uncheck the box to "Automatically Restart."
Be sure any other boxes pertaining to the writing of the reports are checked.
Let's see if that produces more info....

Sorry I can't be more help . . . These errors can be a pain to narrow down.If you have your Windows CD, there should be a copy of dumpchk.exe on it and you could analyze the minidump... I spent 20 minutes at lunch today looking for my Windows CD, LOL! I haven't a clue where I put it!

NT/2000 Event logs contain 5 types of events:
Information - An event that describes the successful operation of an application, driver, or service. For example, when a network driver loads successfully, an Information event will be logged.

-- You mentioned this occurs after AV scan. Are you using Norton?

I definitely think this is driver-related as opposed to a bad hard drive, for what that is worth.
