Hello All,
I have a problem with my computer that has plagued me for the last few months, I hope you can help. The most helpful answer gets the points.
I am running Windows Xp Sp2 (borrowed) on approx 3.5 to 4 ghz Pentium chip.
Whenever I perform the following tasks, my computer stops and shuts down (separate occasions, not all at once):
- watching youtube videos (or any videos online) consecutively in a row (4-5 videos max)
- running a virus scan on my entire computer
- ripping dvds
- multiple (on hd) videos playing at once using different video players
- using an external usb device (midi keyboard) to make beats on Reason 3
After the first shut down, I will attempt to start up again, upon which the computer shuts down almost automatically (during the start up screen). Just before the 2nd shutdown, a black screen shows stating “We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start up properly…” I select to have windows start normally only to have it shut down
