Windows XP: Windows XP Pro is rebooting
Windows XP Pro is rebooting
by ravyn007 - 9/13/04 9:23 PMI have a serious problem with XP Pro. The system reboots for no apparent reason. I have a Pentium IV with plenty of RAM so memory is not the issue. I went into the Event Manager and the following cryptic information was provided. Anyone who can help deserves a kudos bar or something because this has everyone scratching their heads.
My system restarts with no warning and with no particular reason or pattern.
All of a sudden it will reboot. I checked the Computer Managent Tool and under System Tools there are several error in the Application and System sections.
The Application error reads:
The COM+ Event System attempted to fire the EventObjectChange::ChangedSubscription event but received a bad return code. HRESULT was 80040201.
and
The COM+ Event System failed to create an instance of the subscriber partition:{41E90F3E-56C1-4633-81C3-6E8BAC8BDD70}!new:{D3938AB0-5B9D-11D1-8DD2-00AA004ABD5E}. CoGetObject returned HRESULT 8007041F.
and the correlating system error reads:
DCOM got error "The service database is locked. " attempting to start the service SENS with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{D3938AB0-5B9D-11D1-8DD2-00AA004ABD5E}
This seems like a DNS issue to me but there is no information anywhere on how to fix this. Any ideas?

Is you AntiVirus up-to-date?
Have you scanned for Viruses laterly?
If you answered Yes to all of the above. Then at least you can arrest the reboot part until you back up whatever you want to back up.
R-click My Computer>Advanced Tab>Startup and Recovery Settings>Uncheck Automatically restart in the
System failure section on this tab.

I am having a problem with XP pro rebooting for no apparent reason with event errors pertaining to the mrtrate not being able to find a specified file and the windows driver foundation - user mode driver framework service terminated with the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. every time the machine reboots, it is preceeded by these same two errors.
I spent 2 hours with a Quicken support person yesterday fixing my Quicken that dosen't appear, now, to have been broken because I am still getting the same error that I was lead by the "internet" to believe was a quicken error. I sure need some help fast! I am having a terrible time with this thing at work rebooting in the midst of all I am doing every 2 hours or so and losing an hour's qworth of work every two hours is NOT acceptable! GRRRRRRRRRR!

They might not be back. Try making your own new post and in the meantion try your desktop with the cover off.
Safe Mode
by snipingkid - 4/8/08 8:03 PM In reply to: XP Pro rebooting for no apparent reason by Annicat2Safe Mode is your friend. Just boot in safe mode and attempt to find the problem through that.
Addionally, please post your complete computer specs. I want to know everything from motherboard to PSU (don't open the damn thing.. just tell me what you know). You've spoken of plently of RAM, honestly you could have 128mb and your PC would run wonderfully. One bad stick can make this happen (however RAM is related to the system boot, it wouldn't reboot; crash).
In my opinion, of what I've read, this is a heat problems. I didn't see anything about this being a desktop, and laptops running P4s aren't the most reliable. If it crashes after 2 hours, I suspect that mobo resets when heat builds up. Boot it without the case panel, and try to increase airflow. Tell us if this works.
More info on the machine with the rebooting problem
by Annicat2 - 4/9/08 5:19 AM In reply to: Safe Mode by snipingkidI am not sure if you are replying to me or not, because didn't mention anything about ram in my post but here is te particulars on my machine anyway.
The machine I am talking about is a Systemax Venture, P4, 3.00 GHZ, 960 MB ram, XP Pro SP2, i year old on 4/11/08 but was not installed until 4/13/07, Video card VIA S3 G Unichrome Pro 1GP, DESKTOP, 232 GB harddrive with 200 GB free. I would have no idea what to look for in safe mode. I have taken off the cover and blown it out and checked the fans and they appear to be running fine. The limited warranty is not as good as the extended warranty because the extended warranty is onsight and the limited warranty requires us to send it back to them and do without until they get around to it..not acceptable. It is the machine with all our daily financial stuff on it. If we need to call tech support, we are thinking of waiting until Monday when the extended warranty kicks in. In the meantime, I am hoping to find the solution, especially if it's software related and not have to bother with the warranty. Any advice will be appreciated.
That's bad.

That system is just a value machine. You may want to start the replacement process for a machine such as the usual Dell with the onsite support contract. I expect these low end value machines to sometimes have issues.
If the buyer can't live with the warranty terms why did they acquire such a machine?

The extended warranty is good, the limited warranty is so close to running out that it makes it not good at this point in time. This is the 4th Systemax machine we have had at my company since I have been here and this is the first one that has given us one minutes trouble. However, the DELL I had in here when I got here was a pain int he you know and I just gave it to someone who had no computer and helped him reformat the drive but its not good for much anymore because its 8 years old. Our systemax machines have been great made with American parts we can swap out ourselves and not sealed in a case where we forfeit the warranty if we open it like Dell and HP, etc. we replace our machines between 3-4 years or sooner. all the systemax's have been here that long with no problems until this one so I take a little exception to what you said about the brand.

Are troublesome as to drivers and more. Try the easy test with the cover off to sniff out hardware issues.
You may have had good luck in the past but when you find a cranky machine in the lot you may end up with a bitter taste.
