Michael Hardman Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Just noticed my computer restarded on its own and Iremember someone posting about this being a virus or something along those lines. If so does any one have a link to the removal feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 It is a countdown thing giving you 60s to reboot? Or does it just spontaneouesly do it? And is it random, or after a few minutes, or when you go on the internet etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick_spider Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 My computer has been restarting a few times recently... I've found it to be due to the automatic updates - windows gets impatient and restarts itself. Could be that? How often does it do it?

Michael Hardman Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Its the first time Ive noticed it doing it. It hasnt happened since but Ive just run searc hand destroy and some other program and cleaned my computer out. Theres no warning, I was on the toilet and I heard a loading up noise and thought oh no not my vomputer again. It hasnt happened since Ive posted this topic. could just be windows updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Problem sovled I have just realised I set windows updates to run at 12 and well it must have been 12 from looking at the time on my clock. Think I may turn that option off could have lost my uni essays not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
