Computer Restarts Itself - Comments Page 10

Hi!...I hav a Pentium III processor with 256Mb RAM and Windows XP installed.My system restarts even when i open a website,or a software.....it randomises the application for restart...For example initially it gets restarted when i open ORKUT.but now,its for someother application.Please HELP???

I would expect any more posts from mr. Rankin on this matter. I think he's already done an excellent job addressing the issue and possible solutions. I often compare these problems to the guy that goes to the machanic and says " hey my cars making a funny noise, what is that?" ALL pc's are inherently different machines with the own "personalities" in a sense of trouble shooting. Pegging down your solution is YOUR job;) anyway I just wanted to comment. I never do.

EDITOR'S NOTE: That was the best comment on this article in a long time. Thanks! :-)

Configuration of my PC:

P-3 868 Mhz Processor, 256 MB SD RAM, 80 GB IDE HDD.

Mostly I used 256 two rams for using 512 MB RAM in my two slots, But after a year suddenly my computer restart. I check my slots and also my RAM, all are fine. What should i do?

EDITOR'S NOTE: All I can suggest is to try EVERYTHING that you see in the article, and the followup comments.

recently i had a problem which makes my pc restart when i try to download with IDM. but after uninstalling IDM it seems ok. :) butwhat would be the reason for that???

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sounds like a bug in the IDM code, or something about it that interacts poorly with your browser.

I have a Dell destop computer. After I had logged out of my sisters profile, I tried to log into mine and after I hit enter the computer froze the loading and a message popped up. I'm not sure exactly what it said but it basically said that my computer profile is corrupted. I couldn't click on anything so I powered it off by the power button. Then I turned it on and it went to the menu where it asks if you want to restart it normally or in safe mode. Which ever one I click it starts to load but it powers of then back on to the same menu. It does it over and over and thats it. Please help.

hey bob, what about pcwizard software?
i have that one.also what to do in laptops if the temperature is around 70C??
ps.my laptop doesnt restart but my temperature is around 72C and i cant open up my laptop like a PC.also i have hardly any knowledge of laptop hardware.

the problem could be even in restart button also.. so check it..

oops,let me rephrase my message,my laptop doesnt automatically restart without my permission(yay!) but the temperature is easily over 60C after 1 hr use or sumthing,so what should i do.....the thing is i cant open a laptop just like a pc and i need help on alternatives/step be step method to open and clean laptops.

Thank you so much Bob! A thousand thanks. I cleaned out my computer a little and the temp dropped 15c. I didn't realize how dirty it was in there and would cause such an overheating problem. You are the man!

Hello everyone

I downloaded some documents for my exam and double-clicked to run one of them to open but suddenly windows shut down and start to restart itself and it happens everytime when I try as well as i tried to turn on computer in safe mode but it s not working...Is there anyone who is familiar with this problem?

Hi, my computer restarts after few mins when i connect to the internet connection (broadband)
But computer works fine when i use it without internet connection. I have disable the option automatically restart in the starup and recovery option. But still facing the same problems.
Any suggestions and resolutions are appreciated.
My ISP even doesnt know how to fix it.

My computer has been facing this restarting problem for a few weeks now and nothing seems to be solving the problem. I tried formatting and reinstalling windows, and even tried linux but it gets stuck on installion then just freezes and beeps, i've got a 450watt atx psu so i doubt it will be the powersupply. My computer starts perfectly in safe mode but i can't stay in safe mode forever, what would anyone recommend i do?

Hi guys :)
I recently reinstalled my windows XP. However, my pc started restarting it self randomly. I noticed that my PC loses internet connectivity and then after about 30 seconds restarts. Windows notified it as "The Blue Screen Error", however I don't get the blue screen. Any Suggestions?

Thanks in advance :)
