Why does my computer keeps on rebooting every now and then?

Try this \n\n1.  Backup your personal stuff (your mp3's, pictures, word documents etc)\n\n2.  Insert your XP disk and re-imaged it.\n3.  Load your drivers, programs, windows and virus updates\n4.  Copy your stuff back.\n\nInstead of trying to diagnose your problem or taking your computer to a professional and spending couple of hudred dollors, you can do it yourself.  Its not as hard as it seems.\n\nGood luck

It could be due to any number of reasons. Try and narrow the problem down.\nIs it when you are running a particular application? \nHave your recently installed a new applications or hardware?\nIs it at a particular time of day? \n\nIs the CPU overheating?\nIs the RAM OK?\nLoose connector somewhere?\n\n\nHope that helps some :)

You need to check that particular computer and make sure it is set to "shut down" and not set to "reboot".  That  will probably solve your problem.

Sounds like a virus. Update whatever virus scanner you have then scan the computer in safe mode.\n\nYou get into safe mode by hitting the F8 key while it's booting up at the very beginning.

If it does only during startup then its the BIOS setting that holds the key. But if it does quite often during your normal working, then a virus could be a culprit. Another reason could of some program which has been run from the drive and stopped adruptly and its still seeking its home from the background.

In cases like this either you have some hardware problem or a very major software issue. The reason windows reboots is to stop damage from occuring to your system. My advice would be either to identify what is causing the error. \n\nHave you recently installed any new software or made any configuration changes or installed a new hardware on your system. Undo those changes to see if the error occurs.  Also try starting windows in safe mode usually by presseing the F8 key when windows is booting and see if you can get windows operating system to load. I am not fully certain but with windows xp you can do a repair of the operating system with out having to fully re-install windows. What I am not sure of is whether this will delete your saved files or still keep them. Hope fully someone here can answer that  \n\nHope this helps

reboot and try again.

Two things I would first check, \n1. Make sure the reset button is not stuck.\n2. Make sure your BIOS does not have the "Wake on LAN" feature turn on, especially if you have DSL, or Cable Internet.

maybe you have fixed too much, try reinstalling your OS, do a non destructive repair

Repeatedly hitting the F8 key when it is booting up.

Restarts randomly, overheating, increasingly slower speed.  Often times, I've found that a problem that seems to be the CPU ends up being a faulty fan that needs replaced to prevent overheating.

Right click on my computer, select properties, advanced, startup and recovery settings and uncheck d box of automatic restart.\nIt will solve ur restart problem.

Do a system restore and then if that doesn't work run your anti-virus and anti-spyware in Safe Mode. (F8 tapping continuously while booting).

Check Microsotfs website and make sure you have all updates. If you do not have anti-virus software you should get it. There is no need to get any software to reboot your system, that would only be a band-aid to the problem.

My husband had this problem the other night,don't know what happened though.  Try shutting down your computer and restart it in 5 minutes. This will reboot the system.

It may be an error in the drive, restart your computer and see if it reappears, be sure to properly shut down your computer.
