I try in safe mode...with the restart in fail option disable ...but it just freez in a blank screen .... I dont have a newest restore point.... And the idea to format and reinstall again just scary me ... I need to work and cant lose time to reistall and config all...may be late but now I need to know if there is a good way to solve this problem... How dangerus it can be???... ...when Im working in my computer it selft restar two or three times in the day without notice...just gone...is very frustrating when you are working or coding for a time without save, and in a second everything goes...

Well this is my problem...I wish that some one here can help me with this or give me an idea about what can I do...My PC is a Duron 1.8... Asrock k7mv3 ...512 ram...80gb... und Im runing windows XP pro...

Hi bRuNuShky, first you should run a good virus scan and spyware scan, turn off system restore first. Housecall is good http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
See if that finds any problems...

ok thanks ede I will run a virus chek... I already have runing KasperSky 6.0... And I have another thing to add to my previus comment...and is that I find tha the machine reboot only when I do a Full registry scan... I mean I use both programs Registry Repair Wizard 2007 and Registry Mechanic... and both cause a reboot the first If I eneable the File/Path Reference option ...and in the Registry Mechanic...the reboot ocur when I chose a Deep Scan...

well only that... do you think that post a Hijack log can be agood Idea...?

Always use registry fixes as a LAST resort! it is too risky to mess up your pc even worse! Make sure you run a good virus program and spware remover, as well as running cleanmgr and doing a defrag before messing with the registry. If that still is not fixing it then make sure you back up any valuable data before messing with the registry.

Other Things to Use

Adaware is a good program but the free version is a little too limited. After using adaware I would scan using AVG AntiSpyware from free.grisoft.net then I would use Spybot Search and destroy, It gets rid of some of the registry keys used by trojans, malware, spyware , etc... Then, Download and install Microsoft's windows defender. After you use all those your pc should be fine, I DON'T recomend using any kind of registry cleaner/scanner other than spybot search and destroy because you can really mess up your system even more. If you feel you must do it however, I would back up all my important documents pictures and music first. I would recomend using chkdsk from the repair console on an XP disk, or at worst, a repair installation before recomending any registry scanning or cleaning software.
