We have many machines running windows xp embedded. The machines are configured to reboot if any problems should occur. But our problem now is that in some cases the machines seems to shut down, but never reboots again. The same machine might reboot fine in the next time we try.
Does anyone have clue what the problem might be.
Does anyone got some advice on how to debug this problem. Are there any logs that might contain valuable information? Recreating this problem is not done easily so elimination methods are not feasable.
EDIT:
new symptoms:
The machine is either not shut down or fails to boot correctly. The fans has just started/doesn't stop running.
Event logs last recording is that it shut down correctly.
An error in the Event log tells us that our application was hanging right before we shut down.
A changes to a enhanced write filter protected disk was committed.
It is unclear if 3 or 4 actually has something has something todo with the failed restart-
