| 576442 | 2007-08-05 04:19:00 | Don't know if this wil fix the problem, but I notice from the Hijack log that you have two Antiviruses installed, Nod32 & AVG. Remove one of them as antivirus programs can fight one another and cause problems.( this will cause debate :D ) but I'd keep Nod32 ( if its upto date) it catches more infections , remove AVG. See if that makes any difference. The antiviruses may be conflicting when scanning Email or word documents. PS: Temp is not to bad, mine runs at around 37- 40 Degrees C, P4 3.0 Yours is not in the saftey shut down range. |

What I'm leading to is failing memory can also cause random restarts |

| 576444 | 2007-08-05 05:42:00 | now that i think about it the only time it will randomly restart is when i have any program open (not just word or e-mail)(only does this once or twice a day). but not when i just have the desktop showing with no programs running apart from background ones. | spaceman8815 (4112) | ||
| 576445 | 2007-08-05 06:01:00 | Sounds very much like a memory fault try running microsoft memory diagnostic, free download or mem86 if it's still available also a free download. Turning off automatic restart will mean that the next time it happens you will get an error message or a BSOD which might give a clue as to what is going on or you could have a look in system event log at the time of each failure that will at least indicate a consistant condition. Stabbing around blind will take forever to find the problem. |
