error message went away but computer unexpectedly
reboots.....getting very aggravated. Can someone email
me to help me out, PLEASE?????
Open Control Panel - System - Advanced and click on the Settings
button in the Startup and Recovery (bottom) section.
In the Startup and Recovery window look at the checkbox for
"Autotically Restart" and see if it is active (checked). If it is
then click on the checkbox to clear it.
Click on Apply and OK as needed to exit.
The reboots should stop but will likely be replaced by Blue Screen Of
Death STOP error messages and the system may halt completely at that
point requiring a manual power off and restart.
However the contents of the STOP error message will be a direct clue
as to exactly what is happenning. Post the contents of the STOP
message, including all of the codes, back here if you need assistance
with that.
And if the "Automatically Restart" checkbox was not active then the
cause of the reboots is probably hardware related and you may need to
take the computer to a hardware repair tech. Prime suspects include
overheating (e.g. fan failure), defective RAM, defective Power Supply,
and defective motherboard.
Good luck
