Guest El Satanico Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 At totally random times my computer screen will go black and a few second later the computer shuts down and then boots back up. After this random restart everything is normal and the computer is fine. I ran a virus scan every week and I'm clean I run Ad-aware and Spybot every week I have 32 gigs of free space So does anyone know what would cause my computer to randomly restart? I was thinking that maybe it overheats, but I'd think that would cause it to shut down not restart.
MrRant Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 Could be overheatings... but I would suspect a bad power supply. You don't get any kindof warning right? Just switches off?
Guest Fook Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 Have you installed any new hardware recently? My friend got the same problem when he decided to add more ram to him computer. Once he removed the new ram, the problem disappeared.

MrRant Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 I would say power supply then IMO. Cost about 15 bucks or so. After that then you would need to look towards the fan on the CPU or possibly the HD.
