Anyone else use Windows XP x64 to fold? Any weird reboots? I have been running fine or as fine as the system would run, and it has randomly restarted with no logged reason as to why. I didn't even know it was down, and been sitting here thinking it was folding away. How terrible! I turned off autoupdate so it was not that, but I am thinking maybe it was the antivirus software. I am going to change that tonight to be safe.
 
I don't use XP x64, but I know that plenty of people do and I haven't heard of random reboot issues. Is your PC overclocked? These sorts of things are usually caused by instability.
 
Nope stock clocked its a pos old asus desktop. Might be some bad ram, but its just a junker I had laying around. I know it isn't worth really running it is a old pentium D, but I don't pay for the electric bill where it is at and I figured every little bit counts.
 
Used to use it on my 6gb boxen with -bigadv was in *nix/VM only, I never had any reboot problems with mine. :confused:
 
Still use it on 2 boxes. You sure there wasn't a power flucuation and maybe that shut it off? I had junker computer once that shut off during a light brown when nothing else would shut off

My XP x64 box will randomly lock up occasionally, but I'm pretty sure it's the GPUs overheating when the A/C can't keep up on hot summer days. The Win7 GPU box does the same thing. Both of these boxen are headless, so that may be a contributing factor (no monitor so I don't know the exact error).

If nothing is written to the event log, then it's either a power issue as Vaulter98c suggested, or the BSOD is related to the hard drive itself. One of my mobos has a bad southbridge and it took me forever to debug because nothing was ever logged when it crashed.
 
Looks like I may have a NIC driver issue. Noticed some driver crashes in my event log, and the box has been up all weekend, but the network connection has been down. It was the only driver i could find for the system for any 64bit OS. I have a couple other NIC's that usually work out of the box with XP. I guess I will try one of them, and see what happens.
