I have a 64-bit Windows XP machine which has hard crashed several times today. The symptoms are that the screen just goes blank, then the reboot cycle starts. There is no blue screen and even though it is switched on, no crash dump file is created.
On all occasions it has happened during a period of high CPU/memory activity. I have run a full Dell diagnostics with no failures.
Any ideas how to track this down further?
Thanks.
