computer randomly restarting

[John]

Hello group,

For a while now my computer simply restarts without warning. It doesn't
matter what I'm doing, surfing the web, editing photos, listening to music,
whatever and it doesn't matter if the computer has been on for 10 minutes or
2 hours. I know windows has an automatic restart on system crash, but I
un-selected that box and even restarted in advanced options mode and choose
disable automatic restart, but it still does it. I've ran dr. watson to see
if there are any application errors and there are none. Any other thoughts
on this problem? Or another system diagnostics tool I can use to try to
determine the case?

Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer

This should give you some help why this is happening

System Properties - Advanced tab, Startupo and Recoivery button and uncheck the reboot on error.

also check for OVER HEATING, a common problem for sudden reboots.

I just bought a new E-machine it has a celleron D 330 processor, 120 gig
hard drive, 256 megs ram, 533 MHz fsb. I recently added another 516 meg ram
card,
and my cd burner from my other computer, now my computer keeps shutting
down, at first it freezes and I can still use the mouse, then it eaither
blacks out and comes up like its in safe mode but a lot lager, and distorted,
so you cant see what the error message says, Its hard to tell where to click
restart on the screen, or it just restarts automaticaly. After restarting it
gives me the error message, and would I like to send a report, I click yes
and it takes me to a page that says I have had a driver failure, but it cant
tell me exactly which driver, then it suggests restoring my system to a
safepoint, as far as I can tell my computer restores itself as problems
occur. So its been doing this about a week now, which is a good while after I
put my new hardware in, so any suggestions would be apreciated.

ok, I did the windows + r, verifier, cheched all the drivers not made by
microsoft, restarted my PC, nothing happened except now its running really
slow, but I did manage to copy this error message (which is different than
usual)

STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
STOP: 0x100000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M

Did you try uninstalling the CD burner? and if that didn't solve the
problem, removing the ram you added to see if that solved the problem?
