The Pc will shut down and reboot. When I check the event log description it says "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001 a (0x00000041284, 0x01 ac9000, 0x00000000, 0x0501000. Microsoft Windows 2000(v15.2195). A dump was saved in: C:\WINNT\Minidump|Mini041706-01.dmp.|

Any idea what is causing this?

My guess would be a bad driver.. Have you installed drivers for any new hardware prior to this incident?

I did some more research and came across this, the error code was the same except the A after 0x0000001 was an E.

"In plain English, Microsoft uses this error code to report programmatic errors caused by insufficient hard drive space, a faulty device driver, or possibly a BIOS that needs updating. If a device driver is the cause behind the error message, the name of the device driver may be displayed in the error message text.

Solution:
First, try to make more room in your hard drive for WinXP. Remember, WinXP requires at least 2GB of hard drive space, so if you’re at the ragged edge of that limit, try to make some more room.

If a faulty device driver is the culprit, upgrade the driver to the latest WinXP-compliant version if one is available. If a WinXP-compliant version of the driver is not available, you may have to remove the hardware from your system to make WinXP Setup work properly.

Finally, perform a flash upgrade to get your system BIOS up-to-date. Consult your BIOS documentation to learn how to upgrade the BIOS; follow all instructions provided by your BIOS manufacturer to the letter or you could wind up with major problems if you botch the flash upgrade."

Hope this helps..

Yes I am running low on disk space. The last time this happened I was making a copy of a DVD. Thanks for the info, I was in the process of looking for a new HD. Hopefully once I get one it will resolve the problem.

Thanks
