Try hitting F8 a whole bunch of times when it restarts. Keep hitting it till it says safe mode on , then move the cursor to launch "safe mode with networking".
Go to trend housecall (housecall) on Google and run the free virus scanner. My guess is your computer has a Trojan that keeps restarting the computer, if it still restarts in safe mode over and over then I don't know...
AnswerI just seen that there is a new Trojan called sasser, this is exactly what sasser does! it just constantly restarts your computer, in order to prevent go to Microsoft.com and download the patch because you seem to already have it write a trouble ticket to Microsoft.com there techies should be able to help you out :) AnswerIf your computer is restarting/booting by itself,you have a virus or spyware or both on your PC-Try the following programs-they will stop all unwanted stuff from getting on your PC-I went to www.webattack.com and found a way to remove it by doing the following-clicked on green link at the top of the page stating "FREEWARE",then clicked on virus tools/or you can search on that site for this program-"Avast home edition".It is the best freeware program,that i have ever used and removed the virus in no time.The Funweb A is a Trojan horse virus,and when Avast picked it up was goung under another name-i think that's why everybody have difficulty in removing it,and cant find anything under funwe A ,coz it is going under another name.Avast has also detected and removed 2 other virus infected files on my PC!It is important to do a live update of avast virus deff and to set program to run a full system scan.Do download the full free home adition and not just the computer cleaner.Its AMAZING and kicks budd! : )Thank you so much Avast!!!!Two programs going really well with Avast and also freeware on the same site is Ad-Aware spy detector and Zone Alarm firewall.I have all three and they work together like magic!: )GREAT STUFF!!!!Try it,you wont look back!answer:
i don't think that a virus may b the cause ... did you checked the power connection of your CPU and motherboard.
even if its presisting its better to format C: and reinstall win. or you can go to safemode and install AVG or Avast .
It's hard to say for sure without having the system in hand to test, but here's a quick breakdown of what "could" be the cause of this problem.
1. Faulty Power Supply. In cases of age and/or power fluxes / surges, your computer's power supply could lose power on specific rails that could cause your system to restart at a specific point. The only way to test your unit is to use a handheld testing device (available on eBay $5) or by using a different power supply of the same or more wattage.
2. Memory. Your memory could have become faulty, so what the memory starts to work it could , at a certain point, cause the system to restart. There's a few ways to test this, first if you have multiple sticks, pull and try to boot the PC using 1 stick at a time, otherwise you may need to find a stick of the same type to test this theory out.
3. Hard Drive, here is the most common problem your hard drive, it could be failing and unable to read/write which causes it to reboot.
4. SOFTWARE, this would be my first check - your windows could be corrupt or missing loading files. If you have a original operating disc simply boot with it in the drive and do a system repair (windows will reinstall over existing copy) If you don't have the original disc, but a restore disc you might want to try to run that. Otherwise you need to have this service done or purchase a operating disc to reinstall the OS to see if it's missing important NTL loaders.
5. Spyware / Viruses This also could be the problem, you might want to boot the system in SAFE MODE (hold F8 while booting) , when in safe mode, run your virus software and any spyware removal programs you have. After you do a full scan, remove anything you see, reboot. Hopefully that solved the problem.
The above are the most common reasons, anything beyond that would point to your motherboard/processor having problems and that is a more serious problem. Try the above, start with software first, you should find the problem quickly!
It could be a registry error in your system, so do a registry repair scan with Intel software partner Reg In Out registry cleaner.
NOTE: Registry errors normally cause crashes, NOT spontaneous reboots.
Can be the Power supply faulty memory because Ive just fixed a PC that had this problem after diagnosing it and working with it for 10hoursNOTE: Though it could possibly be the power supply, they more are more generally associated with crashes, hangs, and/or premature hardware failure rather than spontaneous reboots.Click Start and Open the Control Panel
2. Go to System and Maintenance, Click on System.
3. Select Advanced System Settings and choose Advance tab.
4. Under Startup and Recovery, click on Settings.
5. Under System failure uncheck Automatically restart.
Another cause for random reboots is that the computers processor is getting too hot. To check this, enter the computers bios during boot (usually by pressing Delete, F1 or F10 when the computer just starts) and there will be an option about the computers temperature (often under "PC Health").
U can have registry error.Run a registry cleaner reg in out .
Because someone clicked "Restart" Or A Temporary Power-out Or Possibly a virus Or Something short-circuited Or a power-surge Or practically anything.
It shouldn't react. If it does, this may be a virus.
It Doesn't restart By Itself... It Justs Downloads Files Sometimes so it needs to restart.
You can either refresh, restart your computer, or X out and re-enter your web browser.
restart your computer by mystery
Is this a game? If it is then nothing will happen it will just have to restart when you are loading it up. Or if you were already playing the game then you will lose where you were and have to restart unless you saved the game. If it is a program that you were downloading and installing then you will have to get the download again (unless saved to computer) and restart the installation process. To feather answer your question i need to know what Burning Rubber 4 is.
