RE: [H] This has got me stumped - XP crashing

Did you have SP2 and the latest windows installer? (up to v3.1 I believe) 
The windows installer is very easy to corrupt, it's one of the few things 
that even a user without admin rights can still mess up, meaning any app can 
also do the same.

New install XP. Accessing shares on LAN, copying, pasting etc all OK. *But* 
if I try to run an executable from a share i.e. any install routine, the 
process pauses for about 1 sec then reboots. No crash dump, nothing.

I've booted using msconfig to disable all startup proggies, .ini's, 
services (except network) etc. Still reboots.
Yet if I boot in safe mode with networking all is ok. So I suspect a 
driver. But how to trace with no crash dump? Bootlog shows nothing unusual. 
Anyone else seen this or have a clue as to the cause.
BTW, re-installed network, video drivers. No virus, malware etc.
