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.
BTW: Your English is better then some of the English speaking members including me.
 
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.
 
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.
 
Is it hooked up to any kind of UPS with power management software configured or installed?

Do you have a task set in windows to reboot daily? Task manager I think can do this.
 
I don't got any power management software. I don't have any task to reboot daily. The reboots isn't regulary. It reboots at different times. Sometimes it reboots while I'm working with it. One time it rebooted while I was writing a school exercise. I hadn't saved it. That wasn't very fun. It's no regulary reboots.
 
I've noticed latley, the computer reboots when I start a lot of programs at the sam time. Once, I started a couple of programs just when windows had started, and there it reboots. Sometimes when I start my program to view TV on my computer, it reboots. I've got 768 MB DDR RAM (NOT DDR2). Does the computer reboots beacuse of that?
 
well i bought a cheap tv tuner card from ebay
it works fine but mi computer sometimes reboots for no appreant reason as well

but only when winDVR is running:(
