 Computer Restarts on Its Own. I'm trying to run memtest in an attempt to see whether or not that suggests that any of my RAM sticks are the problem. I tried both the bootable A: floppy version and the bootable DVD-R (no CD-Rs around) version, and even both at the same time, but neither boots when I restart. I entered my BIOS with CTRL+H, but I don't see any options for booting from Floppy or DVD. Should I buy a CD-R to try booting from that? Or is there a way to force a boot from Floppy or DVD? Or should I just try removing one stick of RAM at a time (4 x 1GB RAM), hoping that the absence of one of them will eventually keep the BSODs away? |

| Computer Restarts on Its Own. I noticed a BSOD happens often when I print something, as it's happened three times so far, on different days, when I print. If it can be a power supply issue, what should I do? I'm not good with the inside of the computer, so I'd like the easiest fix. |

| Computer Restarts on Its Own. I'm trying to enter BIOS to make it so that the computer can boot from Floppy or CD-ROM, by tapping DELETE when the BIOS beep happens, but doing so only seems to reboot the system back to the first system info screen. There's always a message for my unique system that tells me I can enter the "BIOS Setting Utility" with CTRL+H, but there's no way to request Floppy or CD-ROM as a boot option in there. I want to be able to run memtest before I go through the effort of testing out each 1GB stick of RAM one at a time, to make sure it's fruitful to do so. |
