[computeruler]

my computer just restarted all by its self for no reason what so ever didnt BSOD or anything when it restarted didnt say anything about a criticle error or anything i have viruses/spyware according to zonealarm i have a lga775 p4 ad it was at around 52 or 54 c or about 122 f so i dont think it is heat what else could it be?

I toss 4 things your way as possibilities depending on the age of the system which sounds like you have a stock hsf inplace.
1)supply problem
2)board problem
3)lithium battery on the board now weak and now causing the restarts
4)hard drive problem

Those 4 causes or some other software glitch seeing the Windows crash control step in could just be in the very beginning stages at this point. On a new build here some time back the battery on the board simply went doa without warning where nothing happened when pressing the power button one day. No bad hardware but a dead battery. $2-$3!

I always keep a few onhand regularly since that's a low cost method of troubleshooting besides looking at your software environment in case it's just one or two programs deciding to crash on you. There could still be something else overheatong on you like the video card or even a hard drive seeing high temps if the case lacks good air flow. If you cool the board down more you'[ll start to see cpu temps also drop a little.

format and install new OS.

Does it do it when your on any particular thing or is it just random. Could be anything from a bad program file, driver or even a weak P/S. If thats your CPU temp. at idle its a little high.
