duomenox Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Just a couple of suggestions,If you open the case, does it still happen? Most reboots I have seen are heat related, check all your fans (especially your CPU fan).Goto http://www.memtest86.com and download an ISO. Burn it to CD and boot from it. This will test your RAM as well as your CPU (since the CPU controlls the RAM). See if you get any errors, run the test 3 times if you get errors, and they are at the same place each time, then you have a bad stick of RAM. If there are errors but they are not at the same place (same megabyte range on each f the 3 tests) then you have a heat issue, or an issue with your Mainboard or CPU.Last but not least, run a chkdsk that scans the entire drive for errors, or goto http://www.grc.com and purchase SpinRite (I think it is around $60). This tool will scan your drives for errors and recover any data from bad sectors. It alsy will maintain your drive by making sure all the 1's and 0's are read correctly.to run a chkdsk type this at a command line,chkdsk /f /r c:or boot from an XP CD, hit r for the recovery console and type thischkdsk /p /r c:Post back if you have any more info.

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 If you open the case, does it still happen? Most reboots I have seen are heat related, check all your fans (especially your CPU fan).It's a notebook!!!I'd start to do these things:1. install newest drivers2. install all Windows updates3. if still no luck, RMA the notebook...EDIT: another test you can do is Memtest86+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n5eea Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 You might try checking the PC for spyware.If you access the internet a lot and don't have any sort or spyware prevention/detection software, you might have gone to a site that installed a trojan or something.When I hear something like this, it usually ends up being spyware related any more these days.Update your antivirus app (you have one don't you? If not, get AVG).Clean out your cookies and temporary internet files.Install and update a antispyware app like Microsoft's new beta app, Spybot, Ad-Aware, Pest Patrol, or some combination of these. There doesn't seem to be one yet that chatches or cleans every thing.I also suggest apps from javacoolsoftware.com such as spywareblaster and spyware guard.For home use, these apps are free or shareware.Try it.Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
