Hi all

the subject explains the problem really - over the last few days, my PC
has started to reboot itself every few hours - I've no idea why it's doing
it - the cooling fan seems ok - no unhealthy noises from the PC - it just,
every now dies and then instantly starts booting up again..

Any suggestions on how to locate and fix the problem?

cheers :)


3 things you can try to start with

Run a spyware check..my fav is spybot search and destroy
Try booting and press F8 repeatedly then choose LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIG
Check PSU voltages in bios
