have you tried safe mode?

Go there then go to Run and type Msconfig and do a clean boot.

hmmm im not sure its fine now and its been on for 2 days, its happened 3 times? no errors or anything onyl happened once when i wsas doing something, i tried this
control panel- system - advanced - startup and recovery- system failure- restart - uncheck

ill see if it still restarts.

do you maintenance it?

check for spyware, clear your cookies, and clean your registry

1. Kick it
2. Repeat untill fixed
3. If not fixed in 30 mins, hammer it
4. Repeat untill fixed
5. If not fixed after 1 hour, Throw out window.

i did this

control panel- system - advanced - startup and recovery- system failure- restart - uncheck

so far so good,

im pretty sure no viruses,

i googled it and they said if theres a system failure then itll restart which is why i turned it off, its just weird coz theres no other porblems but oh well i dont do anything till it restarts again

The PC I'm on now restarts without warning, but when it does, it's ALWAYS on myspace. Without fail.

Then when it has restarted, the error report can be...a devide driver, the RAM, an unknown shutdown, a corrupted error report...anything really. I'm inclined to think it's myspace rather than the PC.

I don't think it helps that I'm running SP1 though.

EDIT: and if myspace doesn't cause thePC to restart, it'll at least cause IE to crash. =/

this may be ur problem if u use an old computer (this happened to me) the fuses in it have exploded and are destroying the system u can get it fixed or buy a new computer it cost more to fix though so we got a new computer

if it is from the windows 98 period thats ur problem

OH NO OH NO

after i unchecked restart on system failure i woke up this morning to find the BLUE SCREEN saying theres a system error :O:O:O:O im screwed arent i

Too much of teh pr0n? ;)

Jk man, it's probably the fan in your computer. It'll the insides (in simple terms) will overheat, causing errors. You need it replaced. And once you replace it, don't leave your computer on for really long periods of time, if possible.

If it's not your cooler that might not be on correctly, listen to the area around your power supply when it boots up. If it's emitting a dog whistle like whine, then it means that your power supply is going. One of the signs of this happening is intermittent rebooting.

If it happens too much, it can ruin your installation and in the worst case, kill your partition.

ur CPU's fan is not working either properly or completely.....it has to be replacedRaged-wolverine

Same opinion.

OH NO OH NO

Yeh, you're ****ed now.

Mine restarts with no warning all the time, without fail probably 3 or 4 times a week, mainly when I'm doing someting strenous for my processor

i know of a worm that does thathormagaunt

My computer turns off completely for no reason. Actually, the last time it happened I was watching a Richard Dawkins video on Youtube. I think it was Jesus trying to stop me from watching it.Onmi-SIash
