A friend of mine has this problem, he has done everything he can to prevent it. I have almost used most of my resources to help him out, but nothing is working for some reason. He has installed anti-virus and checked for viruses but none were found, then he took off his firewall but nothing happened. Finally, he took the easy way out and re-installed the wins, but still its there. I am assuming its something do with his bios, but can’t figure out what exactly is going on. I asked this question in my previous thread too, but I guess nobody paid attention to it. Thats why I am opening a seperate thread for this one. I hope you guys will be able to point me in right direction.
Also check the power supply, if its HP/Compaq PC .. the PS can be one of the issue. Usually for some weird reasons PS gets weak in some HP models and then they start rebooting on regular basis.
Pagaldeewani : Don't remember but there was an update on MS site which solved this problem. It was happening to couple of my friends and that update fixed it. Do you remember or had a chance to see the error message....???
i had a problem like this once i looked at evrything and found a broken wire in my comp so everytime it would touch the comp would reboot.it can not be the ram because if it was then your comp should not even boot up in the first place. another time why comp would reboot when ever i tried to use my mic on my comp it was having a problem with the sound card so i say check all the hardware before going software.
i dont know about that because i was never able to turn on my comp with a faulty ram but it can always happen so PD check all the stuff out and let us know if you solved the problem
Thanks guys for all ur inputs and advices, comp is working fine now. He has somehow dealt with it; since, I didn't have much time to help him with it, I don't know how he did it. But, I would try to catch up with him in regards to this.
Damn, nowadays I don't have time for myself either :(
