| OMFG! This started happening about a month ago and only rebooted itself rarely. But as time went on it became more frequent and now it does it every 10mins. I shut off the system setting for reboot when there is a problem and i get a BSOD. I have defragmented my system, did a system restore, cleaned off the motherboard of any dust just incase of over heating and have uninstalled a bunch of programs that i thought might be a problem. I have no idea how this started, but its pissing me off. PLZ suggest anymore ways that might fix my problem. |

| Since it does it every 10 minutes, it sounds either like a cooling issue (i.e. the fan on the CPU isn't running, or other fan's aren't running), or another hardware component is failing. It could be RAM, video RAM, something on the motherboard, etc. Recommend you take it into a reliable repair shop to have them diagnose the cause. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 1gig RAM, nVidia 5200; SB Live Value; Windows Vista Business, Photoshop CS2, Nikon D200 and D100 |

| Pirated software...well...that could be your problem....because with pirated software oft times you get...viruses and worms. Best recommendation....reformat and reinstall WinXP...but don't, DO NOT reinstall the pirated software. Throw it away. Besides screwing with your system, it could land you in jail. Then see what happens. I'd bet lunch that the problem goes away. Had I known about the pirated software in the first place, I would have recommended the above. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 1gig RAM, nVidia 5200; SB Live Value; Windows Vista Business, Photoshop CS2, Nikon D200 and D100 |

| By chance, you're not overclocking, are you? I have to go back to one of two thoughts: 1. It's a hardware issue (a fan isn't running right, bad RAM, etc) 2. It's some little bugger of a worm or virus that' buried deep, and the only way to get rid of it is to reformat/reinstall (oh yeah, don't put any pirated software on the computer) ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 1gig RAM, nVidia 5200; SB Live Value; Windows Vista Business, Photoshop CS2, Nikon D200 and D100 |
