Computer Restart! >:(

my computer keeps restarting randomly, people sometimes tell me it gets over heated and to clean out the back, ive done this but the problem still exists.

Can someone tell me how to fix this or any advice on how to get around it or something?


Thx

 

Are you sure it's entirely random? What are you doing most times that it restarts?

 

Yeah, it would most likely thing would be that your PC is over heating.

 

Post your specs, OS, and any other information and I'll see what I can do.

 

This is exactly what happend to mine and now my friends
its overheating
get ur whole computer cleaned and install and external fan

 

Ok do this first.

Get a fan,Open up the side of your comp and run the fan.If it doesnt reboot you've solved your problem.Reason,overheating

If not,Go safe mode and run it a bit.If it doesnt,Reason virus

Otherwise its your hardware problem.I installed a new graphic card once and my comp kept rebooting.Video card wasnt compatable with my cpu =/

 

a computer would take along time to overheat but laptop overheat easily

or ur running to many programs and ur computer can't handle or

possibly a virus?

 

A virus would probably not cause restarts, its most likely a driver going askew or overheating, when your computer restarts does it display a blue screen of death? if so what does it say? most notabaly an error mesasge that is in all caps saying somthing like "THREAD_STUCK_IN_DRIVER" or something along that lines, try taking off the side of your case and see if that helps a bit make sure its raised off the gound and not near a carpet, its a very outside possibility that your powersupply is on the fritz too

 

Perhaps he is overclocking?

 

This is not a heat problem...
This is a Hardware or Driver problem (RAM, VGA or whatever)

This is what you could do so solve the restart.

1. Go to start
2. Click on Control Panel



3. Something like this will show up... Click on the Red Circle (Switch to classic View)



4. Then you will see something like this... Click on the Circle (System)



5. Something like this will showup... Click on adwanced (1 )
6. Then on settings (2)
7. Then unmark Automatically restart (3)


Now it wont restart your PC anymore Have Fun

 

winter got that, do what he said if it doesnt work post ur specs

 

I've had this problem before. turns out i had 2 viruses on my computer.
