My computer randumly restarts?
Answers:
it could be a power problem .. most likely tho i would still guess its overheating on some component ..
idk
Its probably overloaded from trying to run the spell check and grammar check nonstop while you type.
to test it out, you will need to re-install windows. if windows isn't your problem, then you might just have a motherboard issue.
THat Keeps happening to my dad's computer. Try pressing the off button.Leave it off for a minute.
take it to staples or try going into safe mode re instal windows or reformat ur hard drive
reinstall the operating system.
If that doesnt work it is definately a hardware problem, most likely being the RAM or Motherboard.
There is a high chance that the Power Supply is causing the problem.
Replace the Power Supply.
No i would guess it could be a problem with your RAM you might want to replace it
It could be a number of things. It could be that your hard drive is failing, your cooling fan is not working and something is overheating. You may also have a major problem with your personal firewall. The powerstrip also effects it because it is an unexpected shut down of the computer which can make things fail.
ok that's what happened with me u need to fix that cause it is full of viruses
and naturalize all the viruses and restart ur computer and everything will be fine
someone haacked into it probably or you computer is retarted
If it was the power strip the computer would not restart it would just shut down. The first thing that came to mine was it maybe running hot or dust is clogging ur fan. I am not sure but if its still under warranty i would have it looked at or call the manufacturer. Make sure u are sure u have no viruses though cause that could be the problem
Could it be a loose connection on the power leads? I had this trouble with mine & that was the cause.
I suggest you reinstall your OS
Random crashes are always hard to diagnose, so let's cover all the bases. The first area to check is your drivers. Make sure you have the latest drivers for all your hardware, especially the motherboard chipset drivers. You should also make sure you've downloaded all Windows Updates. Next, consider your power supply. If you're running a midsize 300-watt PSU, and upgraded to a late model Pentium 4 CPU or Athlon FX, or are just running several hard drives and PCI add-in cards, you should upgrade your power supply to a 400 watt or thereabouts model. Inadequate power to your components can cause the entire system to lock up at worst, or just cause certain components to malfunction or stop working. The final consideration is cooling. Ideally, you should have a decent size fan in the lower front of your case sucking in cool air from the ouside, and a large exhaust fan above your AGP card pull air out of the case. SOUNDS LIKE OVERHEATING
A long-standing mystery solved! If rebooting occurs in a PC that you've just built, try re-seating your CPU's heat sink. Make sure you're using the proper thermal gel and spread it evenly between the heat sink and the processor. If inadequate amounts of gel have been applied or low-quality gel has been used, the system will reboot as the CPU heats up---and builds in the uneven "pockets" created by the uneven gel. Also: check to see if you've removed the protective sticker on the bottom of the heat sink (don't laugh---it happens!). And by all means, make sure your motherboard supports the CPU you're installing. If these steps check out and you're still experiencing spontaneous reboots, your problem may be one of the following: Overclocking: We do not recommend overclocking. Memory Timing: The fix? Go into your BIOS and set your memory on "Auto" or at a more conservative setting and see if the reboot problem goes away. Oudated BIOS: Make sure you have the latest BIOS for your board. You can determine if your CPU is supported by browsing the BIOS updates of the motherboard's manufacturer. If you're running a Pentium 4 Extreme Edition and notice that it's only supported with the latest BIOS updates, you may have located the problem! Inadequate Power: If you've made significant component upgrades---with the exception of the power supply---your power supply may be overstressed or failing due to heat or age. Finally, if you've migrated your OS and other files from machine to machine to machine, it may be time for a clean install.
sounds like the hard drive or OS needs to be reinstalled
Crashing a computer very rarely screws the system. What you can do is do a scan disk to make sure everything is okay. Use the windows scan disk, I'll never recommend using OEM software to do this. Windows uses a norton license so use the program that came with windows.
The next thing, if out of frustration, someone clobbered the computer, if it is a desktop. Unplug the power supply, take the cabinet off, check for dust, also make sure the ram chips are housed properly, the same goes for the video card if you use one and any other peripherals. Once you have done that. Close everything up. Happy computing.
P.S. clean out the cookies, also get a copy of Yahoo spy ware it's free and very good, if you use mozilla, get that version of spy ware,and use that to clean any other crap you may have collected from the net.
