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?
Im gonna guess that its the Hard Drive, are there any messages that go up before the restart? If you ran a virus scan then i guess its not it but it does seem like an indicator of one.
Actually, a system restore seems to have fixed it. All is good in the world of randombum's cpu. And testie, this is how you get cpu help lol, not posting for help in the dota thread

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.
oh lol that clip. horrifying. I don't mind that she doesn't know something, its her refusal to learn something that kinda pisses me off.
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.
