    Im having trouble with my PC. For no reason at all, it just randomly restarts itself. Its fustrating because it will sometimes do it in the middle of when Im burning a cd or playing a game. Any idea of why this is?

    It could be a virus or trojan, or its overheating. Is it a custom pc? If it is, it will most like;y be overheating. If not, then it could be malware.

    I dont understand, it just started acting like this when I backed up all my data and deleted it. Im running all scans now, if it is overheating, how can I cool it off?

    Well first of all you want to check your temps. Try speedfan for that(click the link). Can you post what kind of computer do you have? I don't think you built it yourself, but did you have someone build it for you?

    You have your data backed up right? If so then do a clean format and re-install windows. That should take care of viruses and trojans.
