Re: WinXP keeps restarting

message from Ron Martell on 12 Jun 2004
When you have the computer running open Control Panel - System -
Advanced and click on the Settings button in the Startup and Recovery
(bottom) section.

In the Startup and Recovery window click on the checkbox for
"automatically restart" to clear it. Click on Apply and OK as needed
to exit.

That should put a stop to the automatic reboots but you may find them
replaced by BSOD STOP messages similar to what you reported above.

I can find no valid references anywhere to a file named sysdrv.sys as
reported by your error message. The closest I can come is a few
instances of a file named sysdrv.exe which is a virus created file.

So you need to ensure that your antivirus software is completely up to
date, with the virus definitions not more than a week old and do a
complete virus scan of your hard drive.

Good luck
