| 1211426 | 2011-06-23 08:28:00 | Hi! My main pc, built by CL about 12 months ago has started rebooting itself at random times. This normally happens while pc is turned on but not being used but a couple of times now lately has just rebooted while I am using it. It normally just switches itself off and then goes back into windows normally but after a couple of reboots I do have to select the Start normally option. I believe there is records of what is happening in the event viewer or something like that but on looking I am lost as do not understand where to look or what to look for. I am trying to discover if this is hardware or software related but as I have reformatted and installed everything since this started happening, I would be surprised if it's software related. PC is an i5 with 8GB ram and a HL5700 GPU HX650 PU Running Win 7 HP 64 Bit AV is MS Security Essentials Updates and maintenance are both done regularly Any advise would be appreciated Thanks! |

| 1211427 | 2011-06-23 08:37:00 | Its probably crashing. Disable auto restart. Get bluescreenview, then run it. What does it say is the cause www.nirsoft.net |

| 1211429 | 2011-06-23 08:51:00 | Easier way reboot hold F8 down. Wait for the menu, select it. If the computer is with you now. I can see what made it crash. Get teamviewer, install it. Then send the ID and pw it gives you to me in a PM | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1211430 | 2011-06-23 10:04:00 | Have disabled auto reboot in win 7 but have dual boot with XP Pro and when win 7 crashes the pc turns off and then goes into countdown mode where I need to selected OS to start. Has crashed 3 times in last hour but on rebooting and running Bluescreenview there is nothing showing up in the report. Any ideas? |
