Restarting Issues

kaba786

Hey,

I have a big problem, whenever im on the computer it randomly restarts, i dont now why, i have tried scanning the computer with anti-virus and ad-aware-pro, but before the scan finishes, it would have restarted. Also when i am istalling applications in the middle of the installation it goes.

Any help would be useful

Okay do the following:
My Computer > Properties > System Properties> Advanced> Start UP And Recovery and unseletected restart automaticlly

Now if next time it comes up with a bulescreen insted of restarting, its a windows problem, if it restarts still its a hardware problem

Get back to us with your results :-)

Thanks Tom :-)

hi,

I have installed an external Belkin USB port inserter.

I was just looking round on the web and saw that a problem whic causes the computer to restart is the broadband adsl modem or something like that, that will cause a fatal Stop. I remebered that after my computer restarted i sent the error to microsft and it said something like 'fatal stop' or something like that.

Thanks

Take the [STRIKE]router[/STRIKE] USB PCI Card out and try PC if all is OK its the PCI Card , you may need some software update or firmware update, have a look for issues with that card via the Belkin website.http://www.belkin.com/uk/

Hey,

Thanks for that, but i dont use a router. What i use is a place where you can insert more usb ports.

:rotfl: Dont know I havent seen your PC.

Maybe if you put what you bought or what it is you actually put in your PC did it look like this (did you remove the lid?)


Have you XP? with all updates, how much Ram have you got?

To find out Ram, right click My Computer, Properties and Ram will display.

I do keep in date with the Updates.

Start > settings > control Panel > admin tools > event viewer.

Does it give you any errors in there and if so what do they say? (for around the times it restarts)
