January 1, 200323 yr Right-click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced tab -> press the Settings button under Startup and Recovery -> uncheck Automatically RestartNext time that this happens you'll see a BSOD instead of just rebooting. Write down the error code that the screen displays and come back to us with that information. With the info that you've given, it could be one of a thousand things.
January 2, 200323 yr also it is a possiblity but probably not.. a time-activated virus.. i had one before.. it shut down after so many minutes of running my pc
January 2, 200323 yr he's gotta give us some more info... he's just talking about that his pc just shuts off... then a BSOD don't shut ur pc down.. just reboots it... If it just shuts down and it goes properly, it could also be a remote shutdown that someone's messing with u (via trojan)...Raptop, you also know what a BSOD is? -If you don't its the blue screen that displays for 2-5secs then reboots... (Blue screen of Death)
January 2, 200323 yr Could be loose power lead wires on the motherboard,faulty power supply.If the hard drive is spinning down the power is cut off and windows did not shut it off.Just trying to cover the hardware angle.I'd say check all connections first,and take static precautions foremost.

Are you overclocking? If you are trying going back to the original CPU speed to see if it stops.......
January 2, 200323 yr P III at 847 Mhz? Are you overclocking? If you are trying going back to the original CPU speed to see if it stops.......Overclocking is a very posible cause! ... I had the same 'problem' with my comp when the ram was running at more than 420mhz!
January 2, 200323 yr TinkerVery good observation.FlierNot everyone can overclock their CPU and expect troublefree operation, a lot of environmentals come into play
January 2, 200323 yr Some PIII's are weird, mine for example is 6.5x100 and every program I try tells me 646Mhz, he might have 8.5 x 100
January 2, 200323 yr TinkerVery good observation.FlierNot everyone can overclock their CPU and expect troublefree operation, a lot of environmentals come into playlmao, everyone calling me "flier" hah! anyway, I know, not all cpu's run stable.. just talkin bout my great lil amd processor..
January 5, 200323 yr Author O.K. I got the BSOD with the following error message Stop 0x000007e(0xc0000005,0xfc6a57a7,0xfc968c64,0xfc968964)
