unexplained computer restarts

Ok, my computer has very recently begun staying up for
around 40-60 minutes and then restarting itself
unexpectedly. Several events happen right before it goes
down as I found out in the event viewer. I copied the
logs.

AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to an illegal IO
port address (0x70), which lies in the 0x70 - 0x71
protected address range. This could lead to system
instability. Please contact your system vendor for
technical assistance.

AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO
port address (0xcfc), which lies in the 0xcf8 - 0xcff
protected address range. This could lead to system
instability. Please contact your system vendor for
technical assistance.

DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either
because it is disabled or because it has no enabled
devices associated with it. " attempting to start the
service ImapiService with arguments "-Service" in order
to run the server:
{520CCA63-51A5-11D3-9144-00104BA11C5E}

I see the following message after it restarts my
computer, which wasn't there a few days earlier for any
reason:


The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck
was: 0x000000d1 (0x00000009, 0x00000002, 0x00000000,
0x00000009). A dump was saved in:
C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini111803-01.dmp.



I really don't know what's going on. I have only limited
computer knowledge as it is. Can someone please tell me
why my computer keeps restarting?

The Blaster virus.
Although you *may* have a virus (you're running Windows, after all),
this may be caused by failing hardware. To determine if the machine is
virus-free, scan with a current (post-2002 version) antivirus using
updated definitions. It is best to scan in Safe Mode. However, I'd look
to overheating as a possible solution, with failing RAM or hard drive
next in line. 1) Open the computer and run it open, cleaning out all
dust bunnies and observing all fans (overheating will cause system
freezing); 2) test the RAM - I like Memtest86 from www.memtest86.com -
let the test run for an extended (like overnight) period of time -
unless errors are seen immediately; 3) test the hard drive with a
diagnostic utility from the mftr.; 4) test the motherboard. If you
can't do this testing yourself, take the machine to a good local
computer repair shop (not a CompUSA or Best Buy type of store).
