Hmm..looks llike some kinda virus to me...

Try doing a virus scan...or a Scan Disk..IMO

could be a heat problem.. if its hot in your room, try opening the case and maybe see if there is any dust that should be removed

(and leaving the case open should take away 5-10C

)

Could be many things.

Virus/malware
Harddrive failure
Memory failure
PSU failure
Overheating

Hmm thought of that..but cant really say ...

Do u remeber having changed any setting before this started happening..
Or else if all fails...u'll have to format the Pc..IMO...

ok goto start - control panel - performance and maintenance - on th left ull find system restore... click on it.... this restores ur system to a point of time earlier.... a window comes out... press next, then select a date that is in bold before the virus happened... then press next... then next again... the computer should restart itself then... it gets a window and restores the system.... then it restarts itself... try doin that...

but be sure that when u chose the date, the date has to be a date before the problem happened... and the date has to be in bold...

this removes all programs that were installed from the day u select on...

Things to do:

- Check temps using temperature monitorings software
- Check CPU/Memory speed to be sure that they are correct
- Clean out inside of case (Get rid of dust)
- Test various components under stress
// Run Memtest to test your memory
// Run Prime95 to test your CPU
// Check voltages under load (Unstable voltages = Get a new QUALITY power supply)
// When testing, keep an eye on temperatures

Post your system specs too.

It could be a blaster worm , its a type of virus which just royaly f+++s up your computer . I had it , it actually managed to damage the hdds partition and a new OS could no longer be installed . I had to bu ya new hdd and then use a data recovery program to get it all back .

Also sounds like you could have overclocked the memory or CPU too much and made it unstable wich could cause the constant reboots.
