COMPUTER KEEPS RESTARTING

[Guest]

I have a COMPAQ PRESARIO s5000nx desktop. Recently all it keeps doing is
restarting. I can use it for 2-3 hours then it shuts off without notice. I
cleaned inside, I did system recovery. It is still doing it. TEMP 37deg C.
Any help?????????Thanks

Hi

Have a look in the Event Viewer for any 'Errors'.

If you don't see any error messages, right click on My Computer, select
Properties and then the Advanced tab. Click on Settings under Startup and
Recovery and disable 'Automatically restart'. Next time your PC reboots,
you should see a Blue Screen. Could you please post the Stop Code that
accompanies that BSOD back here? With that your problem could be isolated.

You are presumably blue-screening, and you are set to reboot whenever that
happens. Right-click My Computer, and choose Properties. On the Advanced
tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery. Under System failure,
uncheck the box "Automatically restart.

Now when the problem occurs again, instead of restarting, you will get the
blue screen with diagnostic information. Post back with those details for
more help.
