If you want to you can run an online scan with Kaspersky. This scan will produce a very thorough indepth log. It will not remove anything it finds, but you can feel free to post the log back here for analysis and malware removal if needed. Do an online scan with Kaspersky Click here to go to Kaspersky Online Scanner Please be patient with the online scan as they can take a while to complete. 1.Click on "Kaspersky Online Scanner". 2.You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes. 3.The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files. 4.Once the files have been downloaded click on "NEXT". 5.Now click on "Scan Settings". 6.In the scan settings make that the following are selected: 7.Scan using the following Anti-Virus database: Extended (if available otherwise Standard) 8.Scan Options: Scan Archives Scan Mail Bases 9.Click OK. 10.Under select a target to scan, select "My Computer".

Upon completion, click on the "Save as Text" button. Save the file to your desktop and post it's contents back here in your next reply. If your log comes back clean you might want to look into a hardware issue. Games can be quite demanding on a system and when there is over heating the system will lock and randomly reboot. Are you noticing this behaviour after a certain period of time? Once it happens once and the pc reboots it happens again alot quicker? Try having a look in the event viewer. Below is a link to Microsoft on how to do this with XP. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427 If you have error codes or are unsure of how to read the log you can ask the folks over at the hardware forum, they are very adept at hardware diagnostics.
