WildKat Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 About once or twice a week my system suddenly reboots by itself. Once back in Windows it says Windows has recovered from a serious error after a few mins of hard disk crunching. I dont think its the regular sobig virus because my PC is fully patched up and has latest definitions and firewall.It needs to be fixed just in case it happens when im doing some work, so if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

Iced^ Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Are you overclocking and have you disabled auto-reboot that way you can get more information on why it's doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspm2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Could be the power supply or ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildKat Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 No not overclocking, where is the option for auto-reboot? It never used to do this until about a month ago. Its a 5 month old PC so I dont think it could be hardware related but cant be certain of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spockboy Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 In Control Panel, go to System properties, then to the Advanced tab. Under Startup and Recovery, click the Settings button. Remove the check in the box that says "Automatically restart", then OK, and you're done.You may want to check your Event Log to see what the specific problem is. That may tell you a bit more info about the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iced^ Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 It will not restart now instead it will blue-screen and from that blue-screen you can often get information on what file is the root cause of the instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
