My computer

[Perseus]

All right, well, my computer likes to restart itself now randomly, especially when I'm running a program or something. I have a theory that it's doing this because there isn't a screen saver. I think this because ever since my screen saver stopped popping up for some unknown reason, it just started randomly restarting, and it annoys me to no end. Any ideas or help? Haha

I highly doubt tht ur screensaver is ur problem. I would go to ur setting n see wats up or ur computer mite have gained a virus tht messing wit ur comp

To be honest it really does sound like a windows activation problem and you could be running a beta version, is this windows 7 you are on? If it isnt activated/beta it can reboot every two hours and also remove your desktop background.

I bet its a virus. i had one once that kept loading web pages and wouldn't stop. the free avg got rid of it.

Strange, I have an old Computer that's 9 year old and was fitted with some GFX Card, Ram and processor in 2004 along with a XP pro.

You should format it once in a while. At least twice a year. Not to lose valuable info? Use external HDD or removable media storage. I do that :D.

Not only that there is a virus, there could be a bundled up registry junk, and recent history in the web browser.

Probably a RAM issue. check to see its in the right slots or if its faulty

also check to see if the Power supply is big enough if its not that could be it

I had this problem and well.... it was a bunch of viruses :( had to restore my entire computer I lost everything... so my suggestion is take in to get fixed before its to late and definatly tranfer your important stuff out on to a flash drive.
