computer randomly restarts

(1/4) > >>

bigdaveangell:
A few days ago my computer started to restart randomly. I havent installed anything new or changed anything. Any ideas what could be the problem. After it restarts I get a message saying the computer has recovered from a fatal error. Im scanning for virus and spyware now but other than that I dont know what to do.

Dave I also had this problem a while back After running through several checks it was put down to corrupt xp boot file.
All I did was use xp cd to boot and used the option "repaiir" and it cleared up the problem.
Hope this helps
cheers

Well if it doesn't happen again, don't worry about it.

If XP knows it has crashed then that means you got a BSOD (though some times you don't see them they are do fast). BSOD are generally caused by driver errors.

texasboy:
Dave, did you get your problem sorted.???
cheers
