Guest Unknown Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Re: windows restarting itself? Also, are you set for auto-updates? Are there updates to be installed?

It's a poor default setting and you should change it. Right-click My Computer, and choose Properties. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery. Under System failure, uncheck the box "Automatically restart. Now when the problem occurs again, instead of restarting, you will get the blue screen with diagnostic information. Post back with those details for more help. Also note that this is more likely to be a hardware problem than a Windows one. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
