Trials Boy Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) It might sound a crap idea but the "Restart" button isn't pressed in is it? EDIT: How come your online if your PC keeps restarting? Edited January 27, 2006 by Trials Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Because he probably gets a chhance to do something before it restarts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinky Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Calm down Well you extremely and 99% of the time dont know what your talking about so just be quiet in future and yeah it probaly is just overheating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 yup, heat.take the sides off the case - or buy more fansAthlons get stupid hot so if you're running one of them it'll be the automatic 'don't catch fire switch' turning it off so it doesn't catch fire.

Hoot Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) Have you overclocked it mate? The thing is, usually with overheating you get the death screen.. Maybe not in all cases, but most of the time you do. Edited January 28, 2006 by Hoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 What does it do before restarting? There was that virus going 'round before saying "Your machine will restart in <countdown>", but I'm guessing it's not that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 heres my temps, it means nothing to me but who knows.cpu temp = 29system temp = 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Those temps seem fine! very odd.My new system kept rebooting when i over clocked it, even though it was only a slight over clock and the temps were still fairly low (about 40 degrees). I put it back to factory settings (fast enough) and its been stable, wierd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 maybe i should overclock it to teach it a lesson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) Mine does the same thing but when you try to log on sometimes, some days it does it a lot other days it doesnt do it, ive been trying to find out what it is for a while now but i still dont have a clue Edited January 28, 2006 by ZeroMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 My advent (old skooool) used to restart due to the hard drive being buggered. Run a scan disk and if it locates any bad sectors then that will be the trouble.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexx Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Could be so many things;- Virus- Bad Ram (sector causing it to crash)- Bad Power Supply (underpowering causing shutdown)- Loose Connections inside the case (causing random power outs)By the sounds of it you're cooling is fine, so i'd work my way through the above.If all else fails, format.
