Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Update / October 2008no updates installed on xp home 2002
My friend gave me a compaq preserio 6010us,AMD athlon xp1600 +1.40 ghz,224 mb RAM. XP home edition version 2002.When i boot up it seems to run until it over heats,then it starts to reboot over an over.I open it up and finds 2 fans are missing,one at the rear an it looks like one at the front bottom.I look in add and remove programs to find no updates have never been installed it only shows some referance to sp1 no other updates.The only virus software installed ran out in 05 no other since.At times it may run for about 15 minutes,then it starts to reboot an does not stop.Can someone please advise,thanks in advance. Until you correct the overheating problem, Windows Updates are the least of your problem. Once you correct that, update the drivers, and go through the instructions for installing SP3, install that. > My friend gave me a compaq preserio 6010us,AMD athlon xp1600 +1.40 ghz,224 mb > RAM.

If it overheats and starts rebooting, then it's too much. It isn't a Windows_Update issue. Maybe you need to clean out the CPU heatsink fins or the paste needs replacing. I'd suggest you ask in a hardware group about it. > bob i have done more checking on the overheating thing and it is not > overheating as much asi thought.What else could be the problem?
