| Ultimate: machine restarts spontaneously.. hi, b/c of problems I've been having with Vista I recently reconfigured it so I choose when and what updates to install.. so about two days I installed some updates, and whadddayaknow -- since I installed them again am having problems (Windows Media Center crashes, the machine restarts spontaneously.. what else is new....;) the last time my machine was restarting spontaneously I asked here about it and was told: Open Control Panel/System/Advanced System Settings/Startup and Recovery. Click the Settings Button. In the System Failure section, remove the check mark from the "Automatically Restart" option. Apply/OK. however, the "Automatically Restart" option is already turned off, and my machine is still restarting spontaneously... so what can I do about this now?? thank you..      |

I rather doubt it... it's pretty much every half hour, as if it were timed, and it did start right after the latest update installs.. |

Are >> you oc'ing by any chance? >> Frank[/color] > > > hmmm.. I rather doubt it...[/color] Question was are you overcocking the CPU, memory or your video card? Overclocking, if not properly done can cause this type of behavior. it's pretty much every half hour, Sure sounds to me like a heat problem. Are all of your fans working properly? When was the last time you cleaned all of the dust & dirt from your fans and heatsinks? as if it[color=blue] > were timed, and it did start right after the latest update installs..[/color] Well, do a system restore to before you installed the updates and see if that makes a difference. That will ever confirm or eliminate then updates as the cause. Let us know. Frank |
