thanks for the reply,
in my log viewer i am seeing the pc recovering from a bugcheck, though it is useless to me and i cant decipher anything from it.
here it is:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000c2 (0x00000007, 0x00000cd4, 0x0241000e, 0x853e3e00). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini100904-02.dmp.
