Ask yourself if recently u have installed any new applications or programs. It may be due to this.

 

Recently i encounter same problem after i installed the free comodo firewall, and i got the "BSOD" (Blue screen on Death) very often. Screen shows dumping memory then after that reboot.

 

I uninstalled the firewall and it looks ok now. Although i still kanna one time BSOD. But not as frequent already.

Either your PSU got problem or your motherboard capacitors dying soon. Can see any bloated capacitors near the processor?

if after you reformat and problem still occur, it should be hardware problem. either CPU overheat, PSU faulty or bloated motherboard capacitor.

check whether your fan is spoilt. pc might reboot if overheat..

Hi,

 

If randomly auto reboot, might be ram issue. You can open up the casing, take the ram out and put it back again.

 

If cpu overheat due to fan malfunction, most cases the system will not boot up.

 

For power cable issue, system will behave weirdly like exceptions here and there etc.

 

Just my 2 cents worth.

 

Cheers

check CPU fan if working.

 

otherwise check / replace PSU

the most worrying is bloated capacitor..that mean need to change motherboard..!!

[Sniperben]

if your motherboard is 478 pentium or 939 AMD board, suggest you take the chance to do some upgrading. change to board which is using DDR2 ram and upgrade to a better processor.

ok...just now i did a servicing on my own for my pc..coz same problem always restart and display keep come out stupid thing and fan v noisy...

 

here what i found...

 

1) the heatsink for graphic chip (or cpu chip) is choked with dust and cause the fan which distribute the heat to stop functioning

 

think this cause the graphic issue and over heat problem..

 

here how i solve it and now its very quiet and smooth all the way

 

1) take out ur heat sink...clean with the solvent (for chips and electornic stuffs)

 

2) apply new thermal compound (like artic silver) to ur cpu or graphic chip for better distribution of heat to ur heatsink

 

3) clean the fan

 

after this...problem solved

unlikely due to virus...if the system can re-boot & load up the OS...

 

could be due to ;

- psu kaput liao...unstable voltage rails...triggered the re-booting

- ram faulty oso can trigger for a re-booting

if overheating cases...the system will 'hang'....unlikely to re-boot...
