Hello every one. My computer has been acting strangely. Whever i stream anything using Windows Media Plaer, being audio or video, my system restarts. No warning or anything, just a black screen and than restarts. when it finishes its restart it takes it a bit to load everything and gets stuck on the blue welcome screen yet the start bar is still shown.

this is very strange and i dont konw how to fix it. It only hapens with WMP because ive streamed things from youtube and it works fine.

any help apreciated

Hi Ostrianiel!
Welcome to PC Helpforum!

Does it happen only with streams, or does it also happen when you play other files using WMP?
This could be malware related, so could you please follow the Prework instructions in my signature.
It could also be related to drivers, do you know if the drivers for your soundcard are up to date, and have you downloaded the latest Windows Updates?
