Hi,

Firstly thank you for reading my problem, I greatly
appreciate your time.

I am having a hardware/os related problem. Whenever I
start to work with intense programes (Like Age Of
Mythology, Adobe Premiere, Adboe Photoshop .etc.,.) my
system becomes quite unstable and then just restarts. It
happens quite often, almost everytime I run a big
application or I give my PC something big to do (Like
sort my mp3 list into alphabetical order). It's almost as
if someone has pushed the restart button on me. Any
idea's?

Anthony.
 
How much RAM does your computer have and how fast is it.
That could be why it because unstable. As for the
restarting its probably because you are supposed to
get "the blue screen" but the option is set to restart so
you dont see the error(blue) screen

--But heck what do I know I'm just 15--
 
I have the same problem. the computer just restarts
(reboots). I have no idea what the problm is. Please
help.

It's hard to tell what the problem is, and that's harder to do if you can't
see the error messages. Microsoft helpfully sets the computer to
automatically restart on serious errors, rather than show you the error
messages.

You can turn this behaviour off, which will help diagnosis:

Right-click on My Computer, and choose Properties. Go to the Advanced tab,
and under Startup and Recovery choose Settings. Under "System Failure",
de-select "Automatically Restart". Choose Apply, OK, etc. back to the
desktop.

From here, you should try to crash the machine while not doing critical work
(like bookkeeping). Take careful note of error messages and in particular
the files that are named.

Have you tried sending in the error report when the machine reboots ?
The report will get analyzed and if there is a updated driver\component that
can fix the problem, you'll be pointed to it.
