Default [Pending] PC restart in 5 mins
HELP!! My pc (XP) will restart by itself in just 5 mins after I switch it on. This will happen for about twice and then the 3rd time it will function properly. WAT HAPPEN?

Also, my pc has been running very slowly recently. I've just updated the Windows Media Player for 10MB. Surely this is not the cause of problem right? The loading of hompage (yahoo) and other links and webpages have been very slowly. I am using broadband with router btw.

Try performing spyware scans and virus scans, the boot sector sounds damaged to me.
