hello.

for some reason when ever I surf on the Internet(well it is usually on the
Internet) my computer starts to restart randomly. I have a anti spyware and
anti virus but they did not detect anything harmful.

Also when I reported my error to Microsoft's error reporting, the following
was information was given

Problem report summary

Problem type
Windows stop error (a message appears on a blue screen with error code
information)

Solution available?
No.

What does this problem mean?
Windows has encountered a problem it cannot recover from and it needs to be
restarted

Cause
Unknown

Computer symptoms
A message appears on a blue screen with error code information (for
example: 0x0000001E, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)

Additional steps for you to take
Please continue to send problem reports so analysts at Microsoft can study
and try to correct the problem as quickly as possible

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see

While you really need to perform an in-depth malware analysis, as Frank
suggested, the first thing that comes to my mind when a machine reboots
spontaneously is overheating (dirt, bad fan), loose RAM modules, or a power
supply glitch.

Random rebooting is very often a hardware issue--overheating, flaky
power supply, or bad RAM.

I would start by opening the case, and blowing out any accumulated
dust with a can of compressed air (do not use a vacuum cleaner). That
could solve an overheating problem.

Open Control Panel - System - Advanced and click on the Settings
button in the Startup and Recovery (bottom) section.

In the Statup and Recovery window click on the checkbox for
"Automatically restart" to clear. Then click on Apply and/or OK as
needed to exit.

That should put an end to the restarts. However they may be replaced
by Blue Screen Of Death STOP errors and the machine may then halt,
requiring a manual power off and restart.

If this does happen then the contents of the BSOD, especially the STOP
code, all 4 of the parameters, and any file or module names mentioned
will be a direct clue as to the underlying cause of the problem. Post
that information back here.

Good luck

Vacuum cleaner works fine, as long as you use the exhaust port, <s>.

Yes, vacuum cleaners work fine. However, the risk of zapping
electronic components via static electricity is always present. That's
why vacuum cleaners should never be allowed near the insides of
computers.

Yeah, I can see that. For myself I live where static is a prominent part of
life. I get zapped every time I get out of a car when it grounds through me,
and I don't wear shoes in the house specifically to prevent static buildup.
I just naturally tend to be careful about it, grounding things every which
way.

Besides, I never let that vacuum nozzle get too near the electronic
components, even if it is a plastic attachment. I got an Electrolux, don't
need to.

Anyway, enough of jerking your chain, <w>.

Care is always good to use, but I prefer to avoid any risk at all.
That's why I think blowing with canned air is always safer.

Not a problem. ;-)
