Computer is rebooting!

gurra92 · 12-05-2006, 05:32 PM

Hi, I'm new here. This looks like a great site. I think I'm gonna get a lot of help here. Let's start with my biggest problem. My computer reboots all the time, I don't know why. I tried to reinstall Windows, but it still reboots. It hasn't to do with the system or any other software (I think). It's some hardware...
I tried to switch power supply, but it didn't help. Please, somebody, help me!

PS: I'm from Sweden, and I'm only 14 years old. My english isn't very good, but I hope you understand...
Maybe I can learn som english here...

Your computer could be overheating make sure you clean all the dust out of your computer.

Many things could be at fault. It could be a virus, or, if you are overclocking your CPU, it might be pushed to far, and is causing errors. My computer restarts itself whenever I overclock it too far and it errors.

My CPU isn't overclocked. The CPU-temperature is 41 C/106 F and the Board-temperature is 46 C/115 F. Is that to hot? I'm sure there's no virus. I reinstalled the system and reformatted (how du you spell that?) the HDD. There's no virus, and I don't think the temperature is to high. What else could it be?

possibly bad ram could be a culprit as well. Try removing all sticks of ram but one, and then run your OS install with only one stick. Try this with each stick individually and if it is bad it will fail, or reboot, etc.

I have thought about the memory. I friend told me to download the program memtest. I did, and a ran the program for 4 hours. It checked 100% of the memory 6 times. No errors. But maybe I should try to remove the sticks... You're right. I've got 2 memory sticks so I can try to remove one of them and then the other one.

Those aren't bad load temperatures. Have you checked the temperatures at load? Download Speedfan and Prime95 to check.

I already got Speedfan. Those temperatures are what Speedfan showed.

Was it under full load though?

gurra92 · 12-05-2006, 08:56 PM

No, it wasn't, but the computer doesn't reboot under full load. It reboots mostly in the middle of the night when I'm sleeping and when only BitComet is running.
