| 402591 | 2005-11-07 23:19:00 | Hi people just started having this problem yesterday where all of a sudden the monitor will go into sleep mode then the pc will reboot, then it tells me that it has recovered from a serious error, It keept doing it all yesterday so i nuked Xp and reinstalled everything but now its still doing it arrgh :mad: Have scanned for viruses etc nothing found as yet. I think it may have something to do with internet explorer (use firefox mostly) because soon as I open IE the pc will reboot also system restore sometimes makes it reboot too. Any suggestions as this is really p***ing me off ??? :help: Specs: Amd 2400XP+ 1Gig Ram Windows XP Geforce 6800LE |

| 402592 | 2005-11-07 23:35:00 | Right click My Computer... Click Properties Click "Advanced" tab under "System Failure" see if "automatically restart" is checked. Untick it if it is. That ususally causes the computer to spontaneously restart. Also Check Here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) someone possibly has had similar problems before |

| 402593 | 2005-11-07 23:49:00 | Had this problem at work. Went thru all the virus checking stuff and Windows stuff only to eventally discover that the power cord at the back was not quite push in all the way.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 402594 | 2005-11-07 23:51:00 | If you've nuked and reinstalled XP then its doubtful that it's a virus - more likely to be faulty/incompatible/incorrectly installed hardware. Have you added or connected anything to your PC lately? | pixeldust (6619) | ||
| 402595 | 2005-11-07 23:56:00 | It logs an event in event viewer acording to microsoft it may have something to do with acpi in the bios but seems strange why it only showed up yesterday while I was playing Guild Wars, and yep power cord is in as far as it goes, another thing i noticed is it seems stable in safe mode no reboots. | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
