Computer Restarts

[NICK]

Having trouble understanding why my computer restarts
whenever it wants. I could be in the middle of a game,
typing a document, or searching the internet. The
computer has installed APM. Not exactly sure what that
does or why it is important.

One of the reasons a computer re-starts unexpectedly is
the msblaster virus. Run your anti-virus program or get
an online scan at

If it does turn out to be blaster then run Google and
search blaster virus

Hi,

Also uncapible drivers can also make a computer
spontaneously restart, such as mine.
Some drivers need Windows XP Service Pack 1, be very
aware of that.
