hi, when i leave my computer idling for about 15 minutes or so, it decides to restart, and if i do not touch it, it will continually restart. does anyone know what is causing this? i am running windows xp, and under screensaver -> power management -> i have all of the setting to never turn off and always on, does anyone know what might be causing this? thanks
no everything is runnig pretty much standard, its the wierdest thing i cant figure out what is causing it, it has been doing it since i installed windows, that or shortly after
Hmmmmm! Did u build your computer or did you buy it from a store? If you built it then try taking the bios battery out! That might work! If it doesnt check to make sure all the fans are working properly! It could be overheating! Check temps! Make sure everything is seated correctly in there slots! (inside the computer)!
If you remember a while back there was a virus that would cause your PC to do just that, restart on it's own. I would look this up at the Symantec site for more information about this also besides a possible hardware or driver issue.
