Help! My computer keeps restarting and I have no idea why. It was working fine like an hour ago, then all of a sudden it keeps restarting as soon as the desktop appears. I can run it in safe mode, And I've run my mcafree, but that didn't solve anything. Any ideas would be great. A lot of people online say its hardware, but I'm hoping its not. Help?  | ||

Soo...it's probably one of them drivers or programs. It's rebooting, so it's probably a hardware issue. Which means it's probably one of those drivers. Think back...did we install a new driver recently? Like a sound card? | ||

The other box is the CPU OP: This sounds like a classic overheating problem, clean the dust out of your computer and see if it makes a diff. Also check to make sure the fans are running correct and get a program that monitors your cpu heat. | ||

I based my post on memories of the family switching from a Mac to a PC (with a 286 woo) and my parents calling the box the CPU. I can understand why really. Coming from the Mac with its all-in-one nature, what to call the two big parts of the PC? The monitor and the computer? That would imply the monitor isn't part of the computer, which would just be too much of a disconnect from the monitor-as-computer Mac they had been using. So in an age when computers were often referred to by the type of processor inside (I still call that machine "the 286" hehe), monitor and CPU was sort of inevitable. I'm a little surprised it still happens 20 years on though. Computers (and familiarity with them) have become a little more common in the meantime. Oh well, not hurting anything. Everyone knew what he meant. | ||
