Windows 2000 rebooting on its own


I just installed Gnucleus on Win2000 and now sometimes while it is running it will reboot on its own... this is extremely annoying... anyone have an idea why this happens?

this is really bad:

i assumed that the reason it rebooted on its own was due to a power supply issue... so i went and bought a new power supply and tried that... it kept happening so im certain it must be a software issue...

try this

often the rebooting problem is down to hardware. I would go for the ram rather than the power supply.

to test if its a driver, go into w2k in safe mode, if it reboots its very likely to be hardware.

at least you know where you are.
