Hi

Any error messages? How far into the boot-up sequence does your PC get?

One of my home PCs does the same thing.
It will boot up and seam to be working fine then with out warning it will reboot. It does this at odd times and I can't seam to narrow it down as to when exatly it will reboot. No error message appears it just reboots.

I have it set to autodownload and install os updates from MS and have scandisked, defragged, and even downloaded the CA virus scan software that Microsoft is giving away (the deffs are uptoday as well), result no viruii ( well at least ones it can detect

Thanks in advance

Hi

Right click on My Computer, select Properties and the Advanced tab. Click
on Settings under Startup and Recovery. Disable 'Automatically restart.'.
Next time your PC throws a wobbly you should see a Blue Screen. From that
BSOD, can you please post the Stop Code? With that your problem could be
isolated.

My desktop pc is doing the same thing. Only, i noticed
when i disconnected the ethernet cable (internet) from the
tower and plugged it into my laptop pc, the desktop pc
stays on without restarting. I am still trying to figure
out why. It being a modem problem is suspect i think.
i'll let you know what happens.
