All the games I play on my computer crash. They don't
crash normally the computer just resets itself. It even
happens when using windows media player. Sometimes it
will be 30 minunits till it resets and sometimes 30
seconds. It always happens when I am connected to the
internet. Is it a virus or my settings.
 
Could be a lot of things. You'd need to run your anti-virus software to
determine whether or not you have a virus on the system. We can't tell you
that, just as we've got no way of knowing what else might be going on
without some description of your system, what graphics and sound cards
you're running with which drivers, etc.

My recommendation would be to first make sure your system is not infected by
running a thorough virus check with the latest definitions. Make sure
you're running the built-in firewall in Windows XP, and make sure you're
updated from Windows Update. Then make sure you're current on all the
drivers for your hardware, including the motherboard.
 
Try disabling the Auto system restart option under System
Recovery.

You can find this here;

START>CONTROL PANEL?SYSTEM>ADVANCED

If you have a genuine problem, you'll be faced with a
Blue Screen mem dump next time the OS runs into an error,
which should at the very least enable you to narrow down
the likely root cause of the problem. More likely, you
will encounter no further errors or restarts, as was the
case when I had this problem.

Good luck.
