| 173862 | 2003-09-08 05:47:00 | Hey Can anyone help me because i think I may have a virus on my computer because it just seems to randomly restart its self. Its very annoying when you are in the middle of writing cds. I have Windows XP with Norton Antivirus 2003 & Norton Firewall both are up to date. Norton Antivirus doesnt seem to pick up on anything either:-( Can someone please help. Thanks |

| 173865 | 2003-09-08 06:08:00 | My next suggestion would be that you check the cables inside your PC, and make sure they are all in securely and aren't loose :-) | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||

| 173867 | 2003-09-08 06:28:00 | Could be our favourite spyware/scumwares. Do you have Spybot and Adaware programs? Free off the internet if not. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 173868 | 2003-09-08 06:34:00 | It may be a software conflict/problem. You can stop it restarting on BSOD's by going into control panel-system-advanced-startup and recovery settings, and untick the box that says, automatically restart. At least with the BSOD, it may give a clue to what program is causing the strife. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 173869 | 2003-09-08 07:14:00 | how do u start in BSOD? | technogs (1075) | ||
| 173870 | 2003-09-08 07:22:00 | BSOD = Blue Screen Of Death, a humorous reference to the blue screen that appears when windows crashes. XP can restart automatically if that happens so you don't get to see what went wrong. Follow the instructions given in the previous post and turn off the automatic restart. That may help you find more information about the cause. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 173871 | 2003-09-09 00:38:00 | it could not be a virus, I had xp pro on my computer and norton, and it would restart (sometimes at logon screen, sometimes at desktop), I uninstalled norton anti virus (well tried, halfway through uninstalling it restarted!) and that seemed to fix it long enough for me to write important data off to a cd, and then I reinstalled windows. | mikeymike76 (4408) | ||
