reseat your hardware fist but you may have a conflict with your hardware, first try updating your Bios, if that no good, see if your button on your pc is not sticking,  if it still dose the same remove your cards and unplug your HDD, Cdrom, dvd and so on until all of them are removed, take one out then turn the pc on to see if that works . if still no luck it might be your power supply.

It all depends on what problem you have, could it be that\n1) the floppy belt is disconnected or the unit is not working properly.\n\n2)or the motherboard's battery is out.\n\nIf you read something like the first option you should buy a new unit. If the answer is two, you should open your pc and look for a round, watch like, battery and change it for a new one.\nEach battery lasts almost 3 to 5 years.\nIn my humble opinion and my experience, those are the steps to follow.

Not compulsory but a good idea. Especially if you leave you computer on. Several comsumer UPS have serial/USB ports that allow them to sence when the computer is on and can be setup thru software to power down the computer saving work and preventing the OS from damage.

When this will happen. Will it happen when you run a paricular program...\nIf its happening all the time then its because your cpu is getting heated up.\nGo to bios in that go temperature settings. There you can uncheck auto reboot if you don't want that to happen.\nBut it is recommended

You'll likely get various answers as I can already see.  No, it doesn't really damage it but think about this, you turn it off and then immediately turn it back on, one minute 500W (my power supply) of energy is flowing through your system and then not and then immediately it is again.  I hold the belief this causes unnecessary wear and tear on the system and if you are only going to be away from the PC for a short time, put it in standby or for longer times hibernate and shut down at night (or whever you sleep).  But, if you are having a problem with Windows and task manager is not responding, press the reset switch (if you have one) which is a far better solution than turning it off and immediately turning back on again.\n\nJust my take.

Its due to the Power Saver option being active. You can change the settings from Start>Control Panel>Power Options.

If the problem is actually caused by the internet connection, then that means you must have wake-on-ring either in the bios or by jumper on the card and someone is using your phone to turn your PC on.  While this is possible, it's very unlikely.  Most likely there is some electrical short inside the pc, where metal is touching metal where it shouldnt, and just enough static charge has to build up over a few hours, which then turns the machine on.  Verify wake on ring is disabled and then dust out your machine (with an aerosol can that only blows, do not use a vacuum or feather duster) and verify physical cable connections.  If it continues take the machine to a shop and have the power supply checked.

try going to control panel and then performance and maintenance and then power options. there's settings here that prolong the life of the battery so try changing your power scheme if it's set for max battery maybe?

yes the Tower is referred to as the CPU[Central Processing Unit] \n\nthat is in technical parlance\n\ngood luck\n\n\nRegarding the power surge, i have an UPS[Uninterupted Power Supply] which not only protects my pc from frequent power loss and of course from fluctuations\n\nyou can also try power surge protectors, instead of leaving them on\n\n\nremember..turning your pc not only savees your computer and tvs from burn out\n\nit also saves power

No, you really don't need a UPS.  Some people do, but I don't think that you do.  You do, however, need a surge protector.  No computer should ever even be plugged in, without a surge protector.  You also shouldn't use your PC while there are storms that have lightning in your area, whether you have a UPS or not.\n\nJust turn off your PC, and unplug your surge protector from the outlet, if a thunderstorm comes into your area, or if you are going out of town.  Both your PC and your surge protector will last for years, if you do.  If you don't unplug your surge protector that way, you should replace it every 12-18 months.

I had the same problem. Is was an electrical surge from my power source. Caused by  the fan motor in the processor. I had the motor replaced and it is back to normal.

yes the problem is caused by the battery on the motherboard (called the CMOS battery) has gave up. and will need to be replaced its easy to change turn off pc, open case locate battery which is about 1" inch across. usually near bottom right of motherboard take out battery put new 1 in, do reverse, reset time and date in bios, then in windows and thats it for another few years.

Your computer could have been heated too much.Try working on it after shutting down your pc for an hour or two.
