Hi Everyone,

I am keen to use BOINC but thwarted by a rebooting problem. It appears that BOINC runs fine after installation until I run Microsoft Office 2003 Excel (and perhaps other programs of this suite). However, once Excel has run, BOINC cause the computer to re-boot everytime the computer has finished booting, regardless of whether Excel is actually running.

It may be that I am mistaken about the influence of Microsoft Office 2003 software, but that is how it appears.

Two subscribers have offered suggestions for this problem. One was that the computer has data-writing errors, but I tried memtest and found no errors over a 300% test.

Another was that computer may be over-clocking. How can I check and fix this if applicable?

I run Windows XP with all upgrades, on a fairly fast AMD processor. I can provide better details if anyone needs them to solve this problem.

All help appreciated.

Regards

Xiansheng

No real idea. But can we assume your virus database is up to date?
