There could be hundreds of reason. Start checking if the CPU fan is working.

sign of virus infection.

msconfig disable all your startup items(MAY HELP)

but the con is all ur startup items all gone

 

format and reinstall everything

suspected to be win32 error if it is software conflict

 

after format and installation.

this problem still persist, ur hardware is in trouble

 

See a doctor, if u dunno how to meddle with it

Here are some possibilities:

 

1. Recently-installed memory (also called RAM) caused your computer to behave this way.
   
2. Windows might be damaged
   
3. Some software that you've installed recently made your computer sick
   
4. Some hardware (maybe a webcam, portable drive) caused your computer to behave that way.
   

 

FYI: It's not an overheating problem since your computer "auto-restarts" itself.

Computers are designed to shut themselves off completely when they overheat (which in your case, is not true)

I second that. Go see a very reputable PC doctor.

Not those that can simply carry a screwdriver and claim that they are PC experts though.

Good luck, dude...

My brother says there's trojan horse infection. He went into safe mode and use antivirus to remove over and over again .. but once the computer gets connected to the internet, got the same trojan again.

[Guest NPNT]

time to formattt!!!!!

[Echo]

save ur important files to hard copies, then reformat. that's the best thing to do.

[josean]

sigh...

use a proper operating system to solve all virus and trojan problems permanently

[Mark Ng]

disable system restore, run a virus scan and remove any, update windows, setup firewall and rescan.

 

what scanner you using?

Stubborn Trojan eh?

 

It has to be some software that you've installed that's inviting the trojan back into your comp. again. Probably freeware apps.

 

Time to install anti-spyware, i guess?

Spybot Search & Destroy (Enable "Tea-timer" during the install. That way, it'll stop any trojans sneaking up to your PC once you go out onto the Internet)

 

Get back to us on the results, yea?

I would suggest combining Lavasoft Ad-aware with Spybot.

Do update your Windows, AV and spyware remover definition weekly and run AV once monthly should be sufficient enough.

Install a firewall, Comodo works well for me.

Most importantly, you really gotta be educated not to click on any suspicious URL, poster or porn sites etc...

[SMR]

If really wanna go into detail analysis, you have gotta let us know if there's any new hardware or software installed?

Usually during what circumstances do the restarts happen? After playing intensive gaming or just when connected to network?

What was shown in the screen when restarting? Any BSOD?

[Sky99]

Thanks for all the replies. I do have the 2 mentioned software in the computer, maybe they are not configured properly thats why. I dont have a firewall becos i'm using a modem cum router. My bro says thats a physical firewall.

 

The computer restarts by itself as if someone pressed the 'restart' button. and nothing was showed on the screen.

 

but when the computer is not connected to the internet , it will not restart by itself.

you better save all your data and get help or reformatt NOW.

 

i had the same problem just recently as well. i kept procrastinating on getting help to fix it. and it got worse and worse. and just last sunday, my comp totally couldnt get into windows.

 

i had to reformatt my entire comp losing all my data. and now it works fine.

You didn't give your precious data a chance? That's sad...
