| 628971 | 2008-01-10 01:46:00 | like i said my pc keeps restarting every hour, if not every hour then every hour and 30minutes, havent installed anything new except for speedfan do you think that could be the problem? | deathracer (11825) | ||
| 628972 | 2008-01-10 01:50:00 | Does it just restart as in crash, or just restart? Look in event viewer. If this has XP on it. |

| 628973 | 2008-01-10 01:54:00 | just restarts in my opinion, i dont know if it crashes cause it happens all of a sudden not freezing that i noticed, where do i find the event viewer? | deathracer (11825) | ||
| 628974 | 2008-01-10 01:56:00 | Control panel -> Admin tools -> Event viewer. Look under system and application for any error entries. Press the windows key (If the kb has one and Pause). Go to advanced / bottom option / settings. Untick automatically restart if its ticked. |

| 628977 | 2008-01-10 02:16:00 | this is the latest one - The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

| 628978 | 2008-01-10 02:19:00 | Thats a Printer Port - what is your printer USB or the older Parallel port ( big chunky plug). Any other reports with different problems |

| 628979 | 2008-01-10 02:20:00 | Is this in Vista or XP?? This is what it means in Vista (support.microsoft.com) I dont think that would restart the computer. What are the other error, or bugcheck entries (Or X entries) in event viewer? |
