Hey Folks I have just freshlt reinstalled windows and i have updated my viruse cheaker and all that and windows. But what i did do was install after everything else was my USB drivers for my cable modemand ever since then the computer restarts its self, therer is no error message so i can't even be sure that it is the modem and the drivers anyway of cheaking why its restarting and how to solve the problem. Many Thanks

Another thought could it ne a dodgy power cable?? Or a loose connection or something

Why don't you explain actually what happens? Example of what might happen: I am using my computer then all of a sudden the screen goes blank and the computer is on the boot up screen and it is checking the memory. Ok now you explain what happens. Never say Never Romeo Void Firefox 1.5.0.4 A Safer Browser Thunderbird 1.5.0.4

i told you it restarts !!!!!in other words it switches to bootup screen and reloads windows.

But does any one action seem to trigger the restart? Or does it just restart as soon as you hit your desktop? Before you hit your desktop? also if you think that if the PC didn't restart you may be able to see an error message do this: Right Click on My Computer Select Properties Click on the Advanced Tab Under startup and recovery Click on Settings Under System Failure Uncheck "Automatically Restart". That way when the error occurs again the machine will not automatically reboot. Also have you tried booting in to safe mode? you may need to to do the above step.

Hahhah how polite - people won't help you if youre arrogant. Plus, this would take 5 min to google. www.google.com type: xp uncheck automatic restart or: xp system failure settings restart ------- It takes a second to like somebody, a minute to love somebody but a lifetime to get rid of that bstard The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard.

thanks for the help shadow i will do that and see what happens, Many thanks
