| 1311868 | 2012-11-11 04:07:00 | My XP + sp3 desktop keeps re-booting every 15-mins while the broadband connection is ON. If I disable the connection the computer keeps running. Nothing has been set to shut down or hibernate. Can someone please help me? TIA, PeterE. |

| 1311869 | 2012-11-11 04:12:00 | Have you scanned it for malware? Disable auto-restart. Press the windows key+pause. Click on advanced system settings / startup and recovery/ settings. Untick automatically restart. If it does it again, tell us if it's crashing. And what the blue screen says Or install then run teamviewer. (http://www.teamviewer.com)Send the ID and password it gives you to me in a PM, and I could check it out from here <- Or boot into safe mode / networking, we'll see if it reboots then |

| 1311871 | 2012-11-12 23:00:00 | Thanks for your help. The Blue Screen suggested there was a problem with a recent hardware or software install so I did an un-install then installed the sofware again. So far no problems, touch wood! Thank you. |

| 1311872 | 2012-11-12 23:02:00 | Hmm ok, what was the program or hardware you uninstalled then reinstalled? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1311873 | 2012-11-14 03:14:00 | Norton 360. I had downloaded an 'update' to a 'later version' from Norton before things started to go wrong. Did a full uninstall then installed once more. Not tried to run LiveUpdate yet. |

| 1311876 | 2012-11-14 05:21:00 | lol. Well, lets put it this way, its as bad as bitdefender, Mcafee, Anything with Norton or Symantec on it. Zonealarm, and Kaspersky (The only thing worth using with Kaspersky on it is tdsskiller) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
