Now To The Problem:

My system just restarts, like just now I installed vista on another drive, booted back into xp64 went away for like 45 mins or so came back and the pc was on vista :@...

Yesterday I was playing bf2, after about 4 hours system shut down, i hit power and it booted back up again, was ok for rest of the night. Other days it will run fine.

Pc has all updates, both windows and drivers..

Is there anyway to see why the system rebooted...also I have run3dmark06 advanced edition, everything passed and benched at about 10598 or summet...dunno what it means though...

I can build pc's but thats about it...lol

Re: Comp Restarts

on each of my PC's i turn the "XP reboot when it finds a problem" off,,

Right click My Comp > Properties > Advanced tab > Start up & recovery > untick automactically restart,

that way whatever you playing will crash but give you an error message rather than just rebooting thinking it will solve it,

reading the error logs aswell will help you aswell,
