start your computer in safe mode and run a spyware scan. It isn't always a virus. To get into safe mode in windows, at startup keep pressing the  F8 button.

Check your start up programs.\nSTART > RUN > type MSCONFIG > STARTUP uncheck things you really do not started at Boot up.

if it says that you have no viruses, delete your cookies and defrag your computer BEFORE you run antivirus or whatever else it is that you have. also make sure your comp isn't overheated!

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.

Have you scanned your BIOS for a virus? You could have one in there that is causing the problem. You did not say what kind of "corruption" you are getting, stack point error? Or what? Could still be an intermittent hard drive that fails over time (heat problem or what ever). After it gets corrupted can you run scan disk? You may have to do that in safe mode.

Try and reboot your computer and while booting hit the F8 key. If it is a Windows XP it will take you to a bootup menu and see if you can go into Safe Mode. If your able to get in there with no problem, go to you Add/Remove programs and see if you notice any program that is new and remove it. That could be the issue also you might want to disable any programs that startup that are causing the problem. To do that, click on Start>select run> type msconfig. That should bring up a window, now look for the startup tab and click on the option that says disable all and hit ok which will tell you restart your computer. Give that a shot. If that works do a virus scan. Than go back into msconfig and enable one by one until you reach that cause of that problem and if it is a program removed that program.

Hi,\n\nThis has happened to me a few times before in the past and I usually think nothing of it. Try refreshing the page and running basic diagnostics on your computer such as disk clean-up, defrag, virus scan etc. Then restart. Also you should make sure you have the latest version of Firefox availible. I also use Firefox and have this problem every once in awhile, maybe it is a bug. I don't think there is anything wrong with your computer though!

Your machine is lacking in memory.\n\nYou are running too many memory resident programs and/or you have more windows open (could be browser windows or other applications). \n\nReduce the active load on your machine.\n\nIf that does not help, then restart, may be a program is stuck in a loop somewhere.\n\nIf even that does not help, run an anti-virus, may be you have avirus.\n\nIf that also does not help, try reinstalling the operating system.\n\nIn case nothing of the above works, get a new machine with better specs.

Try restarting your computer.

The main reasons for restarts: 1.bad memory 2.overheating (can either be processor or chipset)   Yours sounds as if it's your processor overheating, though, since it's usually happening when you're using your processor at or near 100% usage.  \n\nTry turning it on, then going into the BIOS, and check your temps there.  If it's idling much above 50°C in the BIOS, then that's almost surely your problem.  More than likely, you just need to go to Wal-Mart, and buy a can of compressed air, and blow all of the dust out of your heatsink.

If Windows XP suddenly starts without warning, or restarts when you try to shut it down, it may be because your operating system is set to automatically restart when certain system errors occur. This feature of the Windows XP operating system can be disabled. Use the information below to disable the Automatically Restart option. \n\nResolve this issue by turning of the Automatically Restart option: \n\n1. Click Start, right-click My Computer and click Properties. \n2. Click the Advanced tab and select Settings in the Startup & Recovery section. \n3. Remove the check mark next to Automatically Restart under System Failure. \n4. Click OK to close the Startup and Recovery window and click OK to close the System Properties window. \n5. Restart the PC.\n\nThe PC will no longer restart automatically when a problem occurs. Instead a blue screen appears with more useful information. You can now search for a resolution using the text from the error.\n\nAfter you perform the above steps, check if the issue persists in "safe mode with Networking", scan for virus, get the BIOS update from the manufacturer.
