Re: Computer keeps restarting

[Kim]

My computer has the same problem. It keeps restarting itself, sometimes
before it even loads. I get error reports, and when I send them a new webpage
opens saying something about the error report being corrupted due to a
serious problem with my hardware. The steps say to go to remove any new
programs I've installed, but not only will the add/remove programs thing not
load, but I haven't even added anything new to my computer for at least 6
months now! And by the time I try to get through reading the whole
instructions on fixing the problem, my computer restarts again. I am writing
this message on a laptop. Please help ! Thank you !

go to start/run, and type:
shutdown /A

This will stop the restarting, and let you read the error message (blue
screen text), which Might include a filename that would give you a hint
about what software or hardware was causing the restart.

I tried that, and it seemed to work, my computer stayed on a couple minutes
longer than usual, then it restarted again! Thanks anyways! Another problem
is it says my firewall and virus protection are off, and when i go to check
them it says they're on, but only sometimes. I try turning it on when its
off, and it won't work, it says something about a computer problem not
allowing it to enable. I am the administrator of the computer, so I don't
know why it won't work. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

If you can't gain control of the restarting, you should probably consider
rebuilding the system.

You mean I have to get a new computer or reinstall everything and loose all
my files? Theres no other way? Do you have any idea what this could've been
caused by? I'm really bad with computers.

It's likely that your system is invaded by Malware, or your hardware is
somehow damaged. You should seek trustworthy local help. It would take a bit
more knowledge than you profess to have, to fix it in that state.

This kept happening to me a while back when I owned an e-machines PC. After
I owned it for a year all of the sudden it started to do this, I cleaned the
insides real good, (Dust on fans) and even used some type of gel that was
recommened for the CPU (something to do with heat). It worked for while
then about a month later started to do the same thing again. Tried all of
the above all over again and nothing. I ended up getting an HP PC and after
1 1/2 years, guess what, the same thing. This time I used that gel on the
CPU, snugged the heatsink nice and tight, cleaned all the fans and it is now
working great.
