Pending: Computer -restarts repeatedly

Jasmine · 05-31-2008

Dear all,

I am using Windows XP professional. Sometimes my PC runs fine but many times it cause one of these troubles:

1. Computer starts and then again restarts with monitor light only blnking. It does not restart again untill I switch off the power supply and restart it all over again. then it restarts with error message that my windows did not run normally previously.

2. Sometimes Computer starts fine but after 5-10 minutes it suddenly restarts without any error message. Sometimes it happens for particular file like some word doc or MS Reader.

3. If any time it starts normally and would not restart then suddenly even after opening some simple word file it will show you display driver error and screen will turn into 4 colors and I have to restart it again.

In last 3-4 months I have changed , RAM, SMPS, Power Supply Cable but no use. Please help I am really feeling fustrated with this PC.

Regards,

Jasmine.

Also try reinstalling your GPU driver it might be a overheating Issue.

Hello.Try reinstalling your graphics driver to latest version.

Could you check inside your computer while running that all fans are spinning.

Download this and check your temps for me please and post results for me:SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

Thankyou.

Hi

Download Speed Fan from Here: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer
Check the temperatures of the GPU and CPU.
Also check that all fans are connected and spinning.

Lets just start ruling things out first.
